Help MISN support land defenders! We are looking for donations to our impacted community fund to support mining impacted communities globally.
A photo of several people on a rainy downtown street, with a large banner that says "We believe survivors of Canadian mining" in the background. Text above the photo says "Donate to Mining Injustice Solidarity Network's mining-impacted community fund. E-transfer (preferred) info@mininginjustice.org. Donate via paypal @misntoronto." Text on a green backgound, with an image of an open pit mine behind. Text says "Recently, we've received many requests for funds from mining impacted communities. Canadian mining companies are ramping up efforts to push harmful mining projects through. To name a few, we have received requests from land defenders fighting Reconn Africa in Namibia, Central American Nickel in Guatemala and Sigma Lithium in Brazil. Donations to our impacted community fund go directly to support mining impacted communities globally and we are low on funds right now!." Text says "Here in Canada, Bill 5 and Bill C-5 are working to expedite mining project and trample over Indigenous Treaty Rights. You can give directly to 8th fire rising, youth leading resistance, here: gofund.me/58e21753 We want to be able to support as many communities as possible. We are asking for donation for our impacted community fund so that we can continue to distribute funds to people on the front lines. E-transfer (Kill Bill 5) K_llb_ll5@proton.me"

The BC government considered "fast-tracking" the northern BC mine where three miners are currently trapped underground. Premier David Eby listed the mine’s underground expansion under Bill 15, the province's controversial new law to override regulations because of Trump's tariff war.
Underground mine where workers trapped was on BC fast-track list
Three miners are trapped in an underground refuge station following a collapse. The Red Chris mine's underground section was on BC Premier David Eby's list of projects to fast-track under Bill 15.

Mining is an environmental and human rights nightmare. Battery recycling can ease that.

Mining is an environmental and human rights nightmare. Battery recycling can ease that.
Battery recycling provides economic, national security, and environmental benefits. But the United States is playing catch-up to Asian countries, particularly China.

Why are minerals so central to geopolitics? How green are electric cars? Why is anti-mining protest increasing? Can the inequalities of the global economy be transformed?

I tackle these topics in my book EXTRACTION: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism

DYK? Toronto is the global capital of mining - nearly 60% of mining companies are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX)! Join @mininginjustice.bsky.social TODAY at TSX to protest the world's largest mining conference. Here's a sneak peek of what we have in store for PDAC this year. #DisruptPDAC
Linear illustration of Toronto's landscape (colouring book style) with the following words in Spanish: "¿Lo sabías?: Toronto es la capital mundial de la minería. La mayoría de las empresas mineras en el mundo tienen oficinas en Canadá y casi el 60% cotiza en la Bolsa de Toronto (TSX, por sus siglas en inglés)."
