Imperial Metals, the mining corporation responsible for the Mount
Polley Mine tailings disaster, is having their Annual General Meeting
in Vancouver on May 27th. At the AGM, Imperial Metals is attempting to
continue and advance mining projects in the unceded territories of the
Secwepemc, Tahltan, Wet'suwet'en, Ahousaht, and Tla-o-qui-aht Nations.
But Indigenous resistors want Imperial Metals executives and
shareholders to hear their opposition loud and clear!
WE ARE IMPERIAL NO MORE: Imperial Metals AGM Action
https://www.facebook.com/events/1439957396301045/ (Facebook Event)
Last year, Imperial Metals dumped 25 million cubic meters of toxic
mining waste into the unceded territory of the Secwepemc Nation. The
toxic tailings have reached the Fraser watershed, the 2nd largest
salmon spawning grounds in the world, and the spill has disrupted the
Secwepemc way of life. This past April Fools' Day, the province of BC
accepted an application from Imperial Metals to reopen the Mount
Polley Mine, leaving 1 month for the public to respond.
In response, the Secwepemc Woman Warriors Society called for a
Day of Action Against Imperial Metals, and the #IMPERIALNOMORE
community ignited. On April 29th, actions were organized in Vancouver,
Kamloops, Clayoquot Sound, Winnipeg, Toronto, Portland, and Los
Angeles, among others.
Today, you have an opportunity to help take #IMPERIALNOMORE to
the next level! Your contribution will be invested in the upcoming
action to get Indigenous resistors to the Imperial Metals AGM on May
27th in Vancouver to express opposition in person. Any unspoken for
travel funds will be directed towards launching #IMPERIALNOMORE into
future actions.
"Being a good ally and accomplice means travel solidarity
in the form of funds, available rides, and promoting fundraising
events so we can all be represented." - Ancestral Pride
In solidarity we can stop the devastation of Imperial Metals!!!
