Bring your signs and your voices. And yes adults are welcome, but if you are involved with another environmental organization, please don't bring signs supporting that organization. Signs should reflect support for youth in their fight against climate change, either those in your life, or in general. Signs promoting youth-led initiatives/organizations are of course welcome. https://www.facebook.com/events/2196634110651184/ May 4, 12-1:30pm.

Per usual, they will be shipping in high school children from across the province in an effort to increase the population of their group. In our current political atmosphere, it is critical that we fight back and remind our politicians that abortion is not up for debate. It is a legal right, and must remain so for the safety of all. The evening before, Feminist Twins will be hosting a sign making event at Planned Parenthood Ottawa for anyone wishing to join! Please keep in mind that this is a peaceful protest. We kindly request that anyone protesting aggressively or violently do so elsewhere. May 11, 6:30pm -11pm.
