Extinction Pavilion CNE Die-in

EXTINCTION PAVILION CNE DIE-IN

DESCRIPTION
Join Extinction Rebellion Toronto on August 20, 2019 as we gather outside the CNE to inform the public about the climate crisis and highlight its impact on biodiversity.

We hope to create an opportunity for public reflection on the climate emergency, to motivate broader public participation in Extinction Rebellion Toronto, and to demand that our government acts now to address this crisis.

ACTION DETAILS
We will meet at the Dufferin-King Parkette (256 Dufferin St.) west of Dufferin, south of King, for briefing at 5:15pm and walk to Dufferin Gate Bridge for the die-in.

We encourage participants to get creative and join us by dressing up like an endangered animal dear to their heart.

The police will be notified of this event.

2. Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.
3. Government must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice.
