Hi friends,
Next week, on February 14th and 15th, the 15 youth plaintiffs in La Rose v. His Majesty the King ([link removed]) will head to court for a virtual hearing. Over the course of two days, attorneys for these young Canadians, with the support of Our Children’s Trust, will present before a panel of Federal Court of Appeal judges via online conference, arguing that the plaintiffs’ case should proceed to trial.
Let’s Show These Young Canadian Climate Leaders That We Stand With Them as They Head to Court for This Pivotal Hearing!
