Scientists have issued a “code red for humanity” to tackle the climate crisis, but governments continue to let corporations call the shots. Together, we can break the grip of corporate influence. Organize our communities to pressure MPs to support just transition legislation.
Green Jobs Oshawa is organizing in support of a just transition here in town and across the country. Part of this just transition must include harnessing the potential of the manufacturing sector in Canada to produce socially beneficial products that can bring about a decarbonized economy, rather than allowing manufacturing to be done only for private profit.
This event is part of the Climate Code Red week of action organized by the Council of Canadians. Learn more at Canadians.org/greennewdeal.
