Hey folks,
The Elders Council and the women at the Downtown Eastside Women's Center are calling on allies and supporters to come down and support the occupation for the right to women's housing. The center will be occupied for at least 24 hours tomorrow with the demand that the centre as well as other spaces be open to women on a 24-hour basis and housing be provided immediately.
Please bring blankets, food, etc.
For more info you can reach Bernie and the women at DEWC at 604-681-8480
SHUT DOWN OLYMPIC SLUSH FUND!
Monday Nov. 20th @ 7pm
Vancouver Public Library
(Georgia and Homer inside entrance)
Meet the Anti-Poverty Committee at the downtown library on Monday night to SHUT DOWN the city’s budget meeting.
These budget meetings are being held under the radar and pretend to be "community consultations." Wedged between budget recommendations from the city is a proposal for a $20 million slush fund that will be extorted from public funds.
WE DEMAND THAT NOT ONE MORE CENT BE SPENT, UNTIL EVERY WOMEN IS HOUSED!!
The city must do everything in their power to ensure that no woman is left homeless. The money wasted on the Olympics could have housed every homeless woman in Vancouver. WE SAY NO MORE!
The city thought they could sneak this money through but we caught them dirty handed. Join us in shutting this meeting down! Demand sincere community involvement and social housing now!

I am currently in the DEWC and I am very grateful and extremely relieved that someone has taken the iniative to help the homeless women!!!
