Safer for All: Speak Out at City Hall
March 8, 7:00 – 9:30pm, City Hall
The city must take immediate action
to end social profiling and discriminatory bylaws that target
street-involved people in Victoria, and commit to making our city
safer for all.
Join us at City Hall, 7:00pm on March
8 to educate city hall about what's happening on our streets, and to
demand:
BAN police confiscating possessions necessary
for survival on the streets
REPEAL discriminatory bylaws
that target poor and marginalized people
FREEZE police
budget and reinvest in social and harm reduction services
Come
out, speak your mind about policing practices in Victoria, and be
part of a movement demanding change
