SUMMARY:Teach in for Mother Earth Day Action
DESCRIPTION:JOIN THE WAVE AGAINST THE PAVE!As chainsaws roar and bulld
 ozers get set to roll on the controversial $2 billion South Fraser Per
 imeter Road freeway (SFPR), join local residents and community groups 
 to stand up for climate justice!Last October, hundreds of people dug u
 p the freewayconstruction site in Surrey with shovels and wheelbarrows
 , and in December we used sand from the SFPR to build a dike blocking 
 the provincial cabinet offices. Now it's time to step up the campaign 
 of mass direct action against climate crime. We need to turn up the he
 at, in order to turn down the heat.WHAT & WHEN:Mass Direct Action agai
 nst Climate Crime, beginning at 2 pm on Friday April 22 (Good Friday).
  Actions may continue over multiple days on this long weekend and beyo
 nd. Like our previous actions, it will be non-disruptive to area resid
 ents, even as we disrupt continuation of the South Fraser Perimeter Ro
 ad freeway (SFPR). There will be a variety of ways people can get invo
 lved and demonstrate their support, including roles with little or no 
 legal risk. All are welcome to participate.WHERE: Meet at Annieville S
 upermarket, 10996 River Road, Delta   google maps link.WHO:This is a
 n initiative of climate justice activists from GatewaySucks.org and lo
 cal Council of Canadians chapters. We welcome your involvement in the 
 planning process, especially at a teach-in before the action (see belo
 w). We seek endorsements and input from other organizations, and your 
 help in mobilizing your friends, neighbours, and community groups to j
 oin us!WHY: Now under legal challengein federal court, the estimated $
 2 billion proposed SFPR freeway would greatly increase greenhouse gas 
 emissions, pave some of our best farmland, scar the banks of the Frase
 r River, pollute elementary school playgrounds, and damage indigenous 
 heritage sites. This freeway is an irresponsible waste of public money
 , and many similar projects have been stopped before. We will emphasiz
 e the need to shift resources from climate crimes like freeways to pub
 lic transit, and to protect communities from flooding and other effect
 s of global warming.CONTACT: Send endorsements and questions to info@s
