We are inviting youth from across Metro-Vancouver to join us on January 29th for a 2020 launch party, alongside over 2000 other groups of young people demanding that the Green New Deal be a main focus for the upcoming year. This year is crucial in the fight for climate justice, and it is up to us, the young people, to fight to make sure that we are electing politicians who will take the necessary action to help this fight. We need action, we need change, and we need it NOW.

On the evening of January 29th, we will be hosting our own 2020 launch party, in support of the Sunrise Movement. We will be showing two mini-documentaries followed by a discussion on why it’s important, and how you can be a part of this movement!

We have never needed so many young people banding together more than we do right now. Come and join us, and learn how to take action to demand climate justice. Together, we can create change, and ensure a better, more sustainable future for generations to come.

We acknowledge that this gathering will take place on the unceded, traditional, ancestral and occupied homelands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh). For folks who are non-Indigenous, it is essential that we acknowledge our responsibility to center Indigenous voices in the fight for climate justice, as the climate crisis is a direct result of colonization. We are uninvited guests on the unceded land in so-called Vancouver, Canada, and it is our responsibility to support Indigenous sovereignty, and give up and create space for Indigenous voices in our organizing.
