Mining (In)justice at Home and Abroad

Mining (in)justice at home and abroad is a conference on the Canadian mining industry (including Tar Sands) set to take place in Toronto.  It wil feature leaders in movements against Canadian mining companies both within and outside of Canada and provide space for growing our own movements in alliance with communites impacted by this industry.

This is a follow-up conference to last year's mining conference, which brought
over 20 front line defenders to share their stories and strategize solutions to
ending corporate impunity and strengthening the struggles against destructive
mining projects around the world.

This year, we are expanding the conference into a 3 day event, providing more
space for participants to meet each other, form alliances, and plan actions to
foster an anti-mining movement within Canada.

About the organizers: Community Solidarity Response Toronto (CSRT) works to bring
the voices and experiences of communities impacted by Canadian extractive
industries to Toronto, where much of this industry is based. We work in alliance
with affected communities within and outside of Canada to expose the true impacts
of these companies within the communities in which they operate.
