Advocacy and activist organizations in Vancouver are looking for endorsement for the upcoming Olympic Tent Village and rally. The rally will support a tent village that will be
linked to Pivot Legal Society's Red Tent Campaign which reinforces the recent Adam's decision making it legal to sleep on city property during a housing crisis and the recent United Nations report citing Canada's housing situation a "national emergency."
The main sponsor of the tent village is Streams of Justice, the interfaith group who organized the successful 2007 squat at a city owned site on Main St. (near Terminal) which was one of the events that pushed the province to fund about 600 units of supportive housing around the city.
The rally and the tent village start on February 15th.
Send the name of your group to wendyccap [at] gmail [dot] com before February 15th.
