Organized by Native Youth Movement and No One Is Illegal Vancouver

It is time for all those opposed to the Canadian colonial system to support, through tangible actions, those struggling for land, life, dignity and soverignty. A statement will be presented on March 20 at a NDP fundraiser at a ticketed event in Vancouver.
