AIDS Vancouver Island is looking for some volunteers for June 24th. Shane from AVI writes:
On June 24th there the 3rd annual Convergence for People who Use Illicit Drugs will take place at the First United Metropolitan Church.
From 9-3 over 60 members of our downtown community, along with 25 invited ‘allies’, will take part in this gathering that has at its core the intention to provide vital political perspectives on some of the issues that alienate and threaten the urban poor. Presentations on decriminalization, stigma, mandatory minimum sentences and Bill C-13, harm reduction and Supervised Consumption Service, and Policing will be facilitated by the Street College leadership participants and hosted the Street College Steering Committee. We are looking for some good allies to help us with the grunt work of putting this event on so those who are in the midst of their community building and visioning and carry on and do, hassle free.
We will be cooking, serving, setting up and tearing down, making coffee, taking notes, and raising our fists and handing out high fives.
If you are interested in helping out for the day or a portion therein, please do not hesitate in contacting me.
In Solidarity.
