Dear Friends of SJS,

Support for tent city required now:

POLICE SURROUND NAMEGANS NATION; RESIDENTS CALL FOR SUPPORT

Just days ago, tent city residents were displaced from Regina Park and bravely claimed a new site – the provincially-owned green space at Carey Road and Ravine Way – which they named Namegans Nation. This morning, the Saanich Police showed up in droves, threatening arrest and yet another displacement. Twenty police officers have surrounded the camp, encircling it in police tape, as though to communicate homelessness is a crime.

Residents and organizers and calling for support and witnesses. Please come immediately to Carey Road and Ravine Way. Homelessness is not a crime!

Updates will be posted on Twitter and Facebook when available. https://www.facebook.com/campnamegans/

Tonight:

People for a One Planet Region: Town Hall Meeting

Tuesday September 18, 7:30 pm

University of Victoria, Hickman Auditorium

Please join, share & invite others to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/383502348853277/

Join us for the launch of the Common Vision, Common Action Solutions Statement and a public discussion on how citizens can mobilize and organize to advance social and ecological justice at the local government level.

What role can citizens take to speak out for the planet and the health of the population, to oppose unsustainable plans, and to propose sustainable and healthy alternatives when local governments consider land use proposals, Official Community Plans and neighbourhood plans, and operational policies on housing, transportation, parks, culture and other issues?

All welcome for this free event!
