Description:

We’re facing the climate crisis, increasing geopolitical tension, an eroding social safety net and the rise of xenophobia and the far right. US broligarchs have unleashed the threat of tariffs on the Canadian economy, leading to economic anxiety and fossil fuel profiteering. Corporate-aligned governments of all stripes are profiting off this moment to promote further resource extraction, deregulation and deportations. What does a people-first response to this moment look like, and how can it cut through all the noise?

Climate Action Network Canada leads the country’s farthest-reaching network of organizations working on climate and energy issues. Known as Climate Action Network – Réseau action climat (CAN-Rac) Canada, this coalition of more than 180 organizations spans coast to coast to coast. The network unites environmental groups with trade unions, First Nations, social justice organizations, development and health advocates, youth groups, faith communities, and local grassroots initiatives.
