DESCRIPTION:“Protest beyond the law is not a departure from democracy; it is 
 absolutely essential to it.” \n― Howard Zinn\n\nCanadian tar sands are 
 more corrosive, toxic, and volatile than conventional crude. \nMining 
 consists of brutally clear cutting sacred Indigenous Boreal forest. The 
 Boreal Forest Biome is the largest carbon sink/storage forest on the entire 
 planet. \nNext they strip mine the soil for toxic sandy tar-like sludge. 
 The sludge is then heated and doused with chemicals and our precious fresh 
 water supply to separate the sand from the bitumen (tar sands oil). \nTons 
 of toxic waste water is produced filling toxic sludge ponds that can be 
 seen from space. Forever tainting immediate water ways and ground water. 
 \nCanadian companies are foaming at the mouth with dollar signs flashing in 
 their eyes to funnel with pipes, or rail this evil oil through the U.S. to 
 be refined and then sold on the Global Market. \nAnd, NO, the Bay Area 
 isn't safe. Tar Sands is already being refined at 4 of 5 Bay Area 
 refineries. \n\nAre we going to silently stand by? No. \nWill we fight for 
 the future of the planet? Yes. \nWill justice prevail? Only when critical 
 mass is reached. \n\nAs the Climate is changing, activists are mobilizing. 
 \nWe the people are rising with the tides to demand justice for the planet 
 and the future generations. \n\nJoin us or wish you would have. 
 \n\n"Democracy is not something that you believe in, or something that you 
 hang your hat on. It's something that you do, you participate. Without 
 participation, democracy crumbles and fails. If you participate, you win, 
 and the future is yours".\nAbbie Hoffman\n\nPREPARE FOR NON-VIOLENT DIRECT 
 ACTION CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE: \n11a.m - 12:30 p.m: Idle No More Prayer, Round
