Idle No More grassroots Founders and Organizers from across Canada, in Solidarity with Common Causes – a new initiative bringing together social justice, environmental, labour and other Activist Groups…

- UNITED we are planning IDLE NO MORE WORLD DAY OF ACTION on January 28th, 2013 #J28.

This day of action will peacefully protest attacks on Democracy, Indigenous Sovereignty, Human Rights and Environmental Protections when Canadian MPs return to the House of Commons on January 28th. As a grassroots movement, clearly no political organization speaks for Idle No More. This movement is of the people… For The People! #IDLENOMOREFTP

The Vision of IDLE NO MORE revolves around Indigenous Ways of Knowing rooted in Indigenous Sovereignty to protect water, air, land and all creation for future generations.

The Conservative government bills beginning with Bill C-45 threaten Treaties and this Indigenous Vision of Sovereignty.

The Goal of the movement is education and the revitalization of Indigenous peoples through Awareness and Empowerment. IDLE NO MORE has successfully encouraged knowledge sharing of Indigenous Sovereignty and Environmental Protections.

This message has been heard around the world and the world is watching how Canada responds to the message sent by many INM Supporters.

INM urges the government of Canada to repeal all legislation; which violates Treaties, Indigenous Sovereignty and subsequently Environmental Protections of land and water.

INM is grateful to many leaders who have supported this vision and the movement of the grassroots people. “The Treaties are the last line of defense to protect water and lands from destruction,” stated Oren Lyons, Faithkeeper Turtle Clan, Onondaga Nation Council of Chiefs.

IDLE NO MORE IS THE PEOPLE…FOR THE PEOPLE!

On January 28th when Canadian MPs return to the House of Commons, we will greet them with a strong message.

Across the country and around the globe there is a new kind of movement against the Harper Conservatives.

Common Causes – a new initiative bringing together social justice, environmental, labour and other activist groups is organizing for a global day of peaceful action to fight back against targeted attacks by this government on indigenous communities, environment protection, our public services, worker’s rights, a women’s right to choose, workers, charitable organizations, civil liberties, migrant and immigrant and refugee rights.

Among the many groups in our large coalition, Idle No More, is participating on January 28th and have chosen to make it a day of action for their cause. Our cause is the same, and we will stand in solidarity with Idle No More.
