Rally For A Just Transition
Sat, Nov 04
|Carl Zehr Square
The intent of the day is to focus on creating a just transition locally, financed by making polluters pay. We are highlighting local solutions that our municipal governments could be working on harder, and targeting the Federal Government, to help fund those solutions.

About the event
Rally at Carl Zehr Square to demand that the federal government tax the excess profits of the fossil fuel sector, and use the money to fund a swift, just transition to clean, renewable energy for everyone. This action is one of hundreds happening across the world on November 3 and 4 to draw attention to the urgent need to power up the global renewable energy revolution.
