Embedded Files
In 2025, it became clear that the federal government was taking increasingly lawless actions against our democracy. Communities across the country began to take lessions from their local histroy, where resolutions were used to point out the tyranny of the British rule and hold them accountable. Today, Swing Left NS/CA has formed the North Shore Resolutions Project and is working with communities across the North Shore to honor our historic fight for freedom and to reafirm our rights as granted by our Constitnution.
