River Run 2024

On September 18, 2024, 8,000 people took to the streets to march with over 100 Grassy Narrows community members to say loud and clear, “We Are Not Going Away!“ This was an incredible show of solidarity with a huge cross-section of movements.
Together we sent Doug Ford and Justin Trudeau a clear message: they need to compensate Grassy Narrows fairly for the ongoing mercury crisis and end industrial threats to Grassy Narrows.
Thank you to everyone for sharing, supporting, mobilizing, organizing and showing up yesterday to make River Run 2024 a huge success!
Please share our socials below to send a message to Trudeau and Ford that they need to deliver on mercury justice!
