            Tell Justin Trudeau to acknowledge and repair Canada's current 
bigoted system against First Nations peoples

                  Just recently, the bodies of more than 200 children were 
found buried near the site of a former residential school for Indigenous 
youth in British Columbia, Canada. This school was one of many state-funded 
institutions that forcibly removed hundreds of thousands of First Nations 
children from their families — up until as recently as the 1990s. In 
addition to being stripped of their heritage, culture, religion, and 
languages, minors were also physically and sexually abused in these 
institutions.

                  First Nations people today — some of whom are themselves 
survivors of these schools, while others are direct descendants of 
survivors — continue to live with the enduring and brutal legacy of this 
cultural erasure and violence, as well as with the present-day bigoted 
system. Experts say the trauma of such en masse abuse and isolation at 
Canada's residential schools is one of the root causes of today's widespread 
substance use on reservations, itself another deadly consequence of Canada's 
horrific past. The entire tragic and cruel history of these schools demands 
a fresh examination and reckoning. Sign the petition to demand that Canadian 
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledge and investigate the rampant 
cruelty of these residential facilities and invest in tribes to repair the 
damage.

                  Thank you,

                  P.S. For generations, young children were ripped from 
their families and cultures, and then abused to death. It's time for a 
reckoning.
