Call to Mass, Peaceful, Direct Action Against the Bear Mountain Development and Further Construction of the Interchange
Hundred Voices of Conscience, inspired by the Ghandian tradition of mass civil resistance, is a call:
1. To gain the pledge of a minimum of 100 conscientious citizens who
will peacefully, simultaneously and with dignity, incur the risk of
arrest, to cross police lines surrounding the forest of the proposed
Bear Mountain interchange;
2. To intervene between the land and earth-moving machinery;
3. And to act on our civic duty to prevent unnecessary harm to the delicate ecosystems around Spencer's Pond and the Langford Lake caves; and to prevent further build-out of the Bear Mountain development on Spaet (Skirt) Mountain, shared traditional territories of Coast Salish peoples.
We seek solidarity with like-minded individuals willing to make a commitment to a community initiative of mass non-violent direct action at an undisclosed time and place. Legal training and support will be provided.
If you wish to be one of the Hundred Voices of Conscience, please sign the pledge and arrange to return it by emailing hundredvoice@gmail.com as soon as possible.

Citizens scored a big victory in Langford today, re-occupying the site of the proposed Bear Mountain Interchange and forcing RCMP and "feller-bunchers" to retreat! Let us build on this victory by taking a new step.
