Gender equity and climate justice go hand-in-hand 🌎

We are excited to welcome Karen Larsen from
Sue Big Oil to our speaker lineup!

Karen Larsen is an environmentalist and volunteer with the Vancouver chapter of Sue Big Oil, a campaign that unites people concerned about the climate crisis and the growing impacts on B.C. communities. Sue Big Oil urges municipalities to pursue legal action compelling the world’s largest fossil fuel companies to pay their fair share of climate-related costs. Setting this precedent is vital to a global movement demanding accountability from major polluters for the damage they’ve caused to the planet and the risks communities now face, especially for women, girls, and gender diverse people who are most impacted by climate change.

Join us at the march to hear from Karen and join our call for gender equity and climate justice!
