On Saturday Sep 17 at 1:30 pm, join the Downtown Eastside Women Centre Power of Women Group* in the 5th Annual March for Women's Housing and March Against Poverty. We invite groups to bring their banners and anything else for our festive march and ‘Gentrifucation Tour’.
All genders are welcome and celebrated. Please bring your drums and regalia. This march is child-friendly and there will be a rest-vehicle for elders. Spread the word!
This year, we celebrate the recent victory that has forced the provincial government to commit funding to a 24-hour low barrier shelter for women as a result of our collective efforts. We also continue to march for:
- Social Housing, Childcare, and Healthcare for all!
- No more Evictions and No more Gentrification in the Downtown Eastside!
- Stop Criminalizing the Poor!
