I really want to like the content of this piece but I can't get past the headline. Does The Conversation not have copy editors?

Maybe one of the authors or someone at could ask for an update.

"British Columbia needs a unified response to respond to the biodiversity crisis"

I've seen Rania Masri (North Carolina Environmental Justice Network) speak before and can promise this online event tomorrow (May 28th) at 7pm ET will be super powerful and will help people who care about environmental justice learn about ways they can show up in real solidarity with Palestine.

There's lots we can be doing, like supporting the student encampments and writing to these universities and our MPs.

Here’s an email and phone script to call on your MP to ask them to increase pressure and establish an immediate, two-way embargo on Israeli-Canadian military trade:

People are also organizing with their neighbours in communities across Canada to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, among other key demands from the Palestinian Youth Movement.
