“There can be no more aspirational documents. There can be no more playing around the edges of this genocide. The next steps must be concrete, actionable, costed, and quickly put into effect.

They are the 2 3 1 Calls for Justice”. - Men who want to be involved in the fight: https://moosehidecampaign.ca/
