As world leaders meet in Glasgow for COP26, organizers are planning a Global Day of Action for Climate Justice on November 6.

In Toronto, the demands for this day of action include respecting Indigenous sovereignty, phasing out fossil fuels, a just transition for communities and workers, and global justice that recognizes the impact of climate change on the Global South. People of faith have long been part of the ecological struggle. COP26 is an opportunity for us to amplify the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor. As the organizers say on their website, “while no one can escape the impacts of these crises, those who have done least to cause them suffer the most….We need system change that comes from the ground up.”

The Toronto day of action will take place on Saturday, November 6, 1pm-2pm, at Queen’s Park. 

12:30 Meet & Pray

An ecumenical group will gather together thirty minutes before the rally at 12:30pm, meeting at the northwest corner of Wellesley and Queen’s Park Crescent (see the map below). 

1:00-2:00 Rally in Queen's Park
