Amnesty International Saskatchewan’s – Write for Rights (online) Event
Amnesty International Saskatchewan members and supporters will be meeting online to Write for Rights. This event is co-hosted by the Saskatoon and Regina Community and University Groups.
We are especially pleased Tristen Durocher has agreed to speak and perform at this event: Tristen knows that even small positive changes can lead to great things – and he has been instrumental in creating those changes. Inspired by the defeat of a suicide prevention bill in the Saskatchewan Legislature, Tristen created the “Walking with Our Angels” campaign to raise awareness of the disproportionately high rate of suicide among Northern and Indigenous peoples, walking 635 km from his home in Air Ronge, SK, to the Legislative grounds in Regina, SK. He set up a teepee and started a 44-day ceremonial fast to convince the provincial government to adopt the bill it had recently voted down. The bill ultimately passed in April 2021.
