 My name is Annie Doucette, and I'm from Public Debt First Nations. And we are in unceded McMount Territory. We're at Mount Allison University. In Sackville, New Brunswick, at the end of the Cairo's Atlantic Gathering Streams of Justice. The Cairo's conference that's been held for the last four days. Hi, I'm Jessica Diven-Horton. My name is Juan Papundo. My name is Emma Simone. My name is Ken Stryke. Billy Lewis. My hopes for when planning this event included the knowledge sharing that was going to take place and bringing people together from different backgrounds, different ages to come together and explore these streams of justice further together. The streams took us to places I could never have imagined even a week ago. Everyone here came with a passion. And they showed their passion, whether it was women of courage, whether it was indigenous rights, whether it was one of the other streams such as ecological justice. For myself as a faith practitioner, but also as somebody who has an environmental science background, it's at Cairo's gatherings where I often find that intersectionality between multiple issues that are going on at the same time and people who want to advocate for justice as a whole without being so siloed into one particular topic. It really stood out to me how much people connected with one another. And people from within their own streams, but they branched off and looked at the other streams and talked with one another to look at how the streams themselves are connected and how we as people are all connected. I've met so many people, so many elders, so many people from all over. It's amazing to have everybody come to this one space. I believe it's really important to make those connections. And I think it's really important to have those grassroots movements. And I believe that Cairo's is an organization that supports those by giving them resources and policy documents and information and access to global partners. And so Cairo's really helps grassroots groups make those connections to the wider global movement. And there's more and more people getting involved, and especially what was really special was when we went downtown on Friday and joined all the young people that were part of the, I think it was called Fridays for the Future, and that's incredible how many young people are active now. They're more active than I was when I was young and silly. We need more forums like this in order for women and other people of color to be able to speak about what's going on without judgment and without any type of repercussion of what they're saying. I'm just so grateful for everybody that was here and every opportunity I got to learn something, to hear from the elders, to meet people. We did writing workshops. I haven't written in years and it just lit a fire underneath me. I think I went back to my room and I wrote for the next couple of hours. I've been part of Cairo's groups and organizations for the last two decades, and my hope and prayer is that it will continue to grow, continue to influence the direction of this country and continue to make such an impact. I look forward to seeing the engagement of more youth and young people in our gatherings as was seen at this gathering. Star and I have agreed to become part of the Cairo's committee for the Bathurst region as we really are trying hard to get all of these amazing movements into Bathurst. It doesn't matter where you are, coast to coast. This is our work and I would encourage every Canadian to make a part of their life, getting more informed and holding our government and our political folks to the task that's ahead. Contact people like us. There's lots of communities around that have Cairo's people. Any other advocacy going around, we're all very welcoming to the cause. The more people we have in the know, the more we're going to get changed.
