Generations: Offer Activists and Time

generations: It is going to take generations, according to Rabble. It took generations to get us here and it is going to take generations to get us out of this mess that we are in. At the end of the interview, she offered us the gift of the following words What can I offer activists For a long time now I have been saying that the time for 'pretty words' is over, it is time for collective action and I mean everybody in Canada has to work together to make this work. And I know, I am only reflecting what other people have said, but that is exactly how I feel. Don't stop, but before you take a step, reach out and ask and listen, ask for guidance, and listen and then take your initiative based on real solid information. -- Cathy Elliott, Mi'kmaq artist and a proud member of Sipekne'katik, Nova Scotia The complete interview will be available later this month on the Activist Toolkit As this year is drawing to a close, hope lies in continuing to build collective action. And that is from my heart to all of our supporters and to people who are taking action, Miigwech, thank you, Wela'lin, Masi Cho, thank you, thank you so much. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
