With election campaigning in full gear, we have an opportunity to make Grassy Narrows an election issue and get commitments from all parties to provide basic human rights for this resilient community.
Let’s take massive social media action and flood the parties with #JusticeforGrassyNarrows!

Despite a commitment to build a Mercury Home & Treatment Centre back in December of 2017, Trudeau has still not provided the funds to actually build the much-needed facility.
In the meantime, people in Grassy Narrows continue to die early and suffer from the impacts of mercury poisoning.
As election campaigning nears and the time to allocate funds is about to end, we need to pressure Trudeau to immediately put the Mercury Home money in trust so the Treatment Centre is guaranteed to get built, no matter what happens with the fall elections.

You probably saw or heard the news. Or watched the viral video on Twitter.
On March 27, Grassy Narrows leaders and allies demonstrated outside a swanky Toronto hotel as Justin Trudeau regaled his supporters at a fundraising event for $1,500+ donors.
Two of our members made it inside. One stood directly in front of Trudeau, held up a banner, and asked the Prime Minister when he plans to deliver on his government’s commitment to address the mercury crisis in Grassy Narrows.
As security dragged the Free Grassy activist away, Trudeau chirped smugly, “Thank you for your donation!”
With pressure on Justin Trudeau mounting and his Indigenous Services Minister attempting to make an announcement to help the people of Grassy Narrows, there is a unique opportunity to pressure the Prime Minister to deliver on his promise to address the Mercury Crisis in Grassy Narrows.
Here are the many ways you can support Grassy Narrows right now!
