My Story…
Why I walk 10k. for BTS, cheered on by Wilf! Friends, Ii am once again walking 10km to ensure that Breaking the Silence has the funds to continue our solidarity work in 2022, more greatly needed than ever. Only this time I am walking for both Wilf and me, with Wilf cheering me on! I hope to receive the BTS trophy that is now in Wilf's hands!
But more seriously,here is why i walk:
BTS has been able to continue our long-term relationships of solidarity with our Guatemala partners throughout the pandemic. They face tremendous odds - little COVID-19 vaccinations or health care, the greatest human rights repression of the past two decades, especially towards human rights and mining justice organizations as well as journalists and women human rights and environmental defenders, plus ongoing govenrment corruption. Yet they carry on with extraordinary resilience and commitment to the well-being of their members and communities, an inspiration to us all. They have let BTS know how much it means to them to have our continued solidarity, including regular Zoom calls, Urgent Action, advocacy with MPs and Global Affairs Canada, and ongoing public education here in the Maritimes. Needless to say, we want that to continue!
Description
This annual event has become an a very important fun!raiser for Breaking the Silence (BTS). With your generous donation, our Maritime-Guatemalan network can continue to support the efforts of Guatemalans who struggle for political, social and economic justice.
100% of your donation will help us undertake essential activities related to advocacy and lobbying as well organize delegations, send interns, volunteers and human rights accompaniers. We cannot do all of this without your help.
There is something about crossing a finish line that encourages us to do this year and year again.
