Apr 17, 2026 - LNG: Not In Our National Interest

When: Friday April 17th, 9:30am
Where: Minister of the Environment's Office, 1028 Queen St. E

LNG stands for liquefied natural gas. It's a fossil fuel that's supercooled into liquid form so it can be shipped around the world. While companies promote LNG as an economic opportunity, the reality is that these projects are extremely expensive and depend on billions of dollars in public funding to move forward. That means taxpayer money -- your money -- could be used to prop up risky fossil fuel megaprojects that may never deliver the promised benefits.

At the same time, expanding LNG locks Canada into decades more of fossil fuel use, delaying the transition to cleaner energy when we need it most. Instead of doubling down on the past, we have an opportunity to invest in renewable energy solutions -- including Indigenous-led projects -- that can create good jobs, lower energy costs, and build a more stable and sustainable economy.

Apr 17, 2026 - All Out for Palestinian Prisoners

When: April 17th, 5:30pm
Where: Sankofa Square, 1 Dundas St E

Today, as over 9,000 Palestinians are held in Israeli prisons, the Israeli Knesset's passage of the bill legalizing the execution of Palestinian prisoners puts our struggle for the liberation of our prisoners at a critical moment. Palestinian Prisoners historically have always been a compass in our struggle and their freedom is fundamental to the liberation of Palestine.

Join us for a protest for Palestinian Prisoners' Day, an annual commemoration that centers imprisoned Palestinians as the heart of our struggle. With the passing of this bill, the fight for dignity and liberation of our prisoners has never been more urgent.
