When we think about the summer of 2014, one thing looms large: Israel’s brutal all-out assault on Gaza. But something else happened last summer -- something huge. Last June, the Presbyterian Church (USA) voted to divest from companies that profit from the Occupation -- and we were honored to stand by their side. That victory sent an incredible message -- that faith communities around the world won’t stay silent when Israel commits human rights violations.

Did you hear about Sheldon Adelson’s “secret summit” last week?
Last week, Adelson and other far-right billionaires gathered at a casino in Vegas to fundraise to try and stop the growing movement for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS). Why? Because we’re racking up grassroots victories, and our opponents are running scared.

On June 15 – 20, join us for a week of education and action to end poverty-related deaths in BC.
Between 2006 and 2013, at least 281 people died on the streets in British Columbia. Due to under-reporting, that number is likely much much higher. Victoria has the highest number of street deaths per capita in BC. In a four month period, 30 people died on the streets of this city.
These deaths are preventable. Not only are there tangible causes, but viable solutions. We need adequate health services, social housing, and harm reduction services. We need all levels of government to commit to eliminating poverty and preventing street deaths. See below for event info - see you there!
