Dogwood's campaigns channel the power of organized people to create lasting change.

The B.C. government has set aside $1.5 billion for economic recovery. Ottawa is ready to spend even more. We surveyed supporters and allies to ask where that stimulus money should be spent. Here are some of the project ideas that have rolled in so far.

The climate crisis has collided with a global pandemic, a devastating recession and an uprising against systemic racism. We can address all of these in our response to COVID-19.

We have a once-in-a-generation chance to build a healthier, fairer, greener province that is more resilient to the storms yet to come.

We need everything we’ve got to make it through this unprecedented crisis.

We’re all doing what we can to protect our most vulnerable neighbours. But the extraordinary medical response needed is going to cost serious money — and so will safeguarding Canadians’ basic needs as our economy reels from mass closures.

The climate crisis is upon us — but governments are asleep at the switch. It’s up to us to accelerate the shift to clean local power.

Oil prices are at historic lows and demand may never return to pre-COVID levels. But Justin Trudeau wants taxpayers to borrow billions of dollars to build a pipeline that no longer makes any economic sense.

Construction on the Trans Mountain pipeline has barely started. But already the cost has ballooned to $12.6 billion.

The Mount Polley tailings dam failure unleashed billions of litres of contaminated sludge — destroying a salmon stream, dumping mine waste into Quesnel Lake and sending a plume of toxic chemicals down the Fraser River. To this day, the company responsible has faced no charges, fines or penalties. Instead, taxpayers spent $40 million to clean up the company’s mess.

The Tsilhqot’in were the first Indigenous nation in Canada to prove title to their territory in the Supreme Court. But five years later, they still have to fight for companies to respect them on their own land.

Remember the Mount Polley mine disaster? It’s worse than you thought. The company responsible is now pumping untreated mine waste straight into Quesnel Lake. Not only has Imperial Metals never faced fines or charges, they’re still polluting this prime sockeye salmon lake.

Imperial Metals still hasn’t faced any charges or fines after the Mount Polley mine dam collapse. Five years later, the company pipes its mine waste straight into Quesnel Lake.

Now Imperial wants a new permit to drill for gold next to Manning Park and Skagit Provincial Park.

The world is changing, and so must we.

We are at an extraordinary point in time — youth around the world are raising their voices and standing up for change. From striking for climate justice, to protesting the injustice of police brutality, standing up for gun control, and pushing back against every other inequality the world endures, youth are actively fighting against a system that has failed us. They are taking matters into their own hands.

We are at an extraordinary point in time — youth around the world are raising their voices and standing up for change. It makes sense. We are facing a pretty bleak fate. And, under our current democratic system, we have limited recourse and access to power. We need bold political action to solve the big problems that the world is facing today.

It starts with you. Sign up to make a real change in B.C.
