Freedom Rising is a successful Canada-wide initiative where leaders across the country have met for the past two years to strengthen the efforts of individuals, organizations, independent media, and citizen journalists. As a result, hundreds of individuals and groups are working together more collaboratively and effectively. We are excited to announce that BC Rising has been created for leaders to facilitate a similar type of momentum right here in our beloved province of British Columbia.
BC Rising will strive to embrace the efforts and values of the nationwide Freedom Rising, with the intention to build connections across the province of BC and to focus on issues and initiatives specific to BC. We are writing to invite you to join the BC Rising call this Wednesday to meet and discuss topics, strategies and initiatives across BC. Currently, this meeting is only for those who have received this invitation. In the future, once established, this may change.
