What is M4CJ?

Mobilization for Climate Justice-London is a local participant in a network of organizations and activists who have joined together to build a North American climate justice movement, which emphasizes actions and education to mobilize for effective and just solutions to the climate crisis. (To find out more about this Climate Justice network, see the page about our goals.)

Our Tar Sands Campaign

In London, our main campaign this fall (2009) is an attempt to pressure RBC — Canada’s largest, most profitable bank, with a trillion dollars in assets — to give up its role as the main financier of Tar Sands development. The Alberta Tar Sands is the source of the world’s dirtiest oil, and development of the Tar Sands is contributing to global warming, while devastating Boreal forest ecosystems, and poisoning First Nations communities downstream. As part of this campaign, we’re trying to get the University of Western Ontario to divest from RBC and to remove all ATMs owned by RBC from the campus. To learn more about this campaign, visit our Tar Sands Campaign page.

If you agree with what we’re trying to do, please join us in taking action for climate justice!
