Protectors tour: cross-movement resistance to Alton Gas

Throughout the spring of 2017 grassroots water protectors toured Nova Scotia to share information and stories about Alton gas with communities across the province. Speakers will focus on the fundamental problems with Alton Gas, the opportunities for popular resistance and policy change that it presents, and offer ways for new allies to offer support.
