On September 20th, We are Drawing the Line

Right now, Prime Minister Mark Carney is finalizing his fall budget which would cut 57,000 public service jobs and hand $9 billion to the military. 

On Saturday September 20th — just days before that budget drops — in over 50 communities across Canada we are uniting to #DrawTheLine for People. For Peace. For the Planet.

While people are struggling to put food on the table and pay rent, and communities are facing heatwaves and climate collapse, Prime Minister Carney is:

  • Ramming through Bill C-5 to fast-track climate destructive projects on Indigenous land
  • Pushing Bill C-2 for mass deportations and expanded surveillance
  • Planning the biggest public service cuts since the 1990s — 57,000 jobs gone
  • Increasing military spending by $9 billion while threatening pharmacare
  • Arming Israel’s genocide while communities face climate collapse

The only way we stop this agenda is if we unite across movements — so that’s exactly what we’re doing.

A historic coalition of climate, migrant & economic justice, labour, Indigenous rights, and anti-war organizations is taking to the streets in 50+ cities in a massive show of resistance.

DRAW THE LINE

From rallies to marches to mass murals, September 20th communities will demand Carney pick a side: injustice, violence, and climate destruction — or a just and safe future for all of us.

Our demands:

  • Put people over corporate profit. Fund our families and communities. 
  • Refuse ongoing colonialism. Uphold Indigenous Sovereignty. 
  • Stop blaming migrants. Demand full immigration status for all now! 
  • End the war machine. Stand for justice and peace. 
  • End the era of fossil fuels. Protect Mother Earth.

This is more than just one day of action. This is an invitation to community groups and social movements across the country to unite, learn from each other, and build lasting alliances that will organize together long after September 20th. The crises we face demand nothing less than sustained, coordinated resistance.

Carney thinks he can divide and overwhelm us. He thinks we won’t fight back.
