The International Day for the Elimination of Racism marks the anniversary of the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre in South Africa when police opened fire on hundreds of South Africans protesting against Apartheid’s passbook laws, killing 67 and wounding 186. Every year we join friends and allies around the world to mark this day and to speak the truth about racism.

We’re calling on members of our communities to come together for a discussion about the collaboration of Translink and Transit Police with CBSA. At the meeting, we hope to share experiences and develop ideas, strategies and solutions on how we can collectively reach our goals. Possible strategic actions could include flooding the Transit Police Public Board Meeting and creating canvassing teams for major transit hubs.

If you are unable to attend please see how you can get involved here: http://transportationnotdeportation.wordpress.com/get-involved/

Esta vigilia marca el primer aniversario de la detención de Lucía Vega Jiménez. Por favor, únanse a nosotros en la estación de Main, donde Lucía fue inicialmente detenida al no poseer su boleto de pago.

MÁS INFORMACIÓN:

Todos los días en la zona metropolitana de Vancouver, en varias estaciones del tren elevado y paradas de autobús, la policía de tránsito aborda racialmente a los migrantes. En total, trescientos veintiocho personas fueron reportadas el año pasado a la Agencia Canadiense de Servicios Fronterizos (CBSA, por sus siglas en inglés) por la Policía de Tránsito, de los cuales uno de cada cinco enfrenta una investigación migratoria posterior a la detención, lo que sugiere que los otros cuatro fueron abordados por motivos raciales.

Wed at 8:00am
Supreme Court of British Columbia
800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6Z 2E1

We – the Klabona Keepers – are currently blockading the road to Red Chris Mine owned by Imperial Metals, the same company responsible for the Mt.Polley disaster. Their wreckless operation and management of the Mt. Polley disaster on unceded Secwepemc territory pushes us to continue theNopposition we’ve had of this project since its beginning. They haven’t even begun to clean up Mt. Polley. They’ve destroyed the second largest salmon-run in the world. Their largest investor, Murray Edwards, is shifting assets and bailing out Red Chris rather than using that money to clean up the catastrophe they have caused.

And now there is another attempt to undermine the sovereignty of Indigenous Nations on our unceded land and water… We have been served a court injunction through the Supreme Court of British Columbia, between ourselves and Imperial Metals, which ultimately will result in the arrests of our elders this coming week for peacefully protecting what is rightfully theirs.

This Wednesday the injunction will be taken to court in Vancouver at 10:00am, with presentation from the applicant.

WE ARE CALLING ON ALL NATIONS TO COME TOGETHER AND MAKE NOISE OUTSIDE OFTHE COURTHOUSE AND OCCUPY THE SPACE FOR THE ENTIRE DAY TO LET THEM KNOWTHAT THEIR UNRULY ACTIONS WILL NOT PROCEED UNACCOUNTED FOR.
