“Students who acquire large debts putting themselves through school are unlikely to think about changing society. When you trap people in a system of debt, they can’t afford the time to think. Tuition fee increases are a “disciplinary technique,” and by the time students graduate, they are not only loaded with debt, but have also internalized the disciplinarian culture. This makes them efficient components of the consumer economy.” ~Noam Chomsky

I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.

Idle No More is a movement founded by four women, Sylvia McAdam, Jess Gordon, Nina Wilson and Sheelah Mclean who decided they could no longer stay silent in the face of what they saw as a legislative attack on First Nation people and the lands and waters across Canada.

They built a movement of thousands – indigenous and non-indigenous people – in Canada and supporters around the world standing up to fight tar sands, deforestation, mining and other industrial development on First Nation lands.

Happy International Women’s Day!
