The Online Rally for Grassy Narrows was attended by well over 200 people and focused on the need for compensation for all people in Grassy Narrows – a need that continues to go unmet by the Canadian and Ontario governments.
While the pandemic is preventing the River Run from taking place this year, members of Grassy Narrows and Free Grassy, a solidarity network, organized a jam-packed online rally on March 27. The River Run, which started in 2010 and has taken place every two years since, sees members of Grassy Narrows travel to Toronto for a series of street-based actions and community events centered on raising awareness and demanding justice from the Ontario and Canadian governments.
The people of Grassy Narrows have been fighting for mercury justice since 1970, and their struggles have informed and inspired anti-colonial and environmental justice organizing across Canada.
