ABOUT US

Rising Tide Squamish is an all-volunteer collective of passionate people who call the flats and hills where the Squamish River meets Átl'ka7tsem/Howe Sound their home. 

We formed out of a desire to confront the injustices perpetuated against human and non-human people, the land, and the beautifully amorphous idea of freedom itself.  

We fly under the banner of Rising Tide, which formed in the Netherlands in 2000 by environmental and social justice activists attending the UN Conference of the Parties (COP) climate talks. 

Rising Tide now spans four continents, with activists in North and South America, the UK, Ecuador, and Australia. 

Rising Tide has worked to create a network that prioritizes local grassroots organizing yet remains firmly engaged in international social movements; which promotes solidarity and collaboration with impacted communities and local social justice struggles; which challenges corporate “solutions” to climate change; and which organizes with a horizontal, anti-oppressive framework that promotes social justice as inextricably linked to bio-centrism and environmentalism.
