The first meeting of Elbows Up Toronto, Metropolitan United Church. The energy was incredible.

Congrats Julie! Keep up the great work you do advocating for new rules so that financial institutions like banks and insurance companies invest in climate solutions, not pollution.

Quislings! Now there’s a word we haven’t heard since the anti-fascist days of WWII.

There's a better solution: hold the funds to ensure clean up before projects are approved
