Dear Friends of SJS,
Your support is needed:
Solidarity Rally at View Towers
Wednesday, June 11
12pm - 1pm
Corner of Fort and Quadra
In the best of times, Victoria has insufficient support services for people seeking low-income housing and an exceptionally marginal affordable housing vacancy rate. Now 70-100 evacuees from View Towers are facing mistreatment and mixed-messages, as well as blatant discrimination and poor bashing.
Come support evacuees trying to retrieve their things, negotiate absurd layers of red tape and seemingly arbitrary restrictions on access for some and not others.
