BC Federation of Labour is attending a rally to show support for Indian farmers.

The rally is being organized in Surrey.

The BC Federation of Labour, alongside several unions, has declared full support for the farmers in India who are currently protesting against legislation that will deregulate agricultural markets and favour corporate interests over those of small food producers.

Among other demands, farmers in India are also demanding the minimum support pricing for various crops to be made a law.

The protest will begin at 6.30pm.

To support social distancing protocols, the intersection of Nordel Way and Scott Rd by the KFC, has been chosen.
