United Action for Justice: Draw the Line—for People. For Peace. For the Planet.

Draw the Line—for People. For Peace. For the Planet. 

The United Church of Canada is a member of several networks who are organizing a National Day of Action on September 20, 2025. There are more than 60 events happening from coast to coast to coast. The Climate Action Network, Migrant Rights Network and many others invite you to get involved and join an event near you.   

On Saturday, September 20, we’re drawing the line— for People. For Peace. For the Planet. From rallies to strikes, marches to gatherings, this September 20, communities will mobilize across the country and demand that Prime Minister Carney and the Canadian government pick a side: injustice, violence, and climate destruction— or a just and safe future for all of us.
