Canisius College will present “Environmental Solidarity: Injustices and transnational mining operations in Latin America,” from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. tonight, Monday, October 26 in the Science Hall Commons. A presentation will be given by members of the Mining Injustice Solidarity Network, a Toronto-based activist group that educates about unfair practices of Canadian mining companies.

Is the transference of wealth from communities to foreign companies, the pollution of natural environments, and the persistence of human rights violations a viable model of development or progress? The group will discuss such thought-provoking topics. Come learn about their work to resist exploitation and build environmental justice.

The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is co-sponsored by the Canisius College Department of Campus Ministry, the Department of Latin American Studies, the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, and the WNY Peace Center.
