Month of Action for Mining Justice

Government officials have told us that they plan to create an ombudsperson for the extractive sector – yet they have not announced it officially and it was not in the federal budget. We need to hold them to their word! Join Amnesty International and the Canadian Network for Corporate Accountability (CNCA) for a Month of Action for Mining Justice in May – and get started today! Let’s create a groundswell of support that decision-makers won’t be able to ignore.
