Infiltrate the System: curated climate justice news, calls-to-actions, and events in so-called Canada
Shake Up The Establishment
Non-partisan, federally incorporated nonprofit promoting environmental literacy and political climate action in Canada.
?? Bill C-18: Online News Act has led to bans on news and suppression of events, community organizing, political action and interventions related to climate and social justice across Facebook and Instagram. As such, we’re moving away from relying on social media as our only way to reach you, as these platforms aren’t the best for hosting our work.?
