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.

Hello RAVENers!
We hope you are having a lovely start to your summer! We’d love to update you on our big move, progress on the website and some of our programs!1) We’ve moved! With 1 small office 2 desks and 3 staff members, our RAVEN nest was getting a little cozy! So we are now located in Victoria’s historic Central Building – also humbly known as the Save The World building – because so many non-profits are located within. If you need to mail us, or feel like dropping by we are at Suite 303, 620 View Street, Victoria, BC, V8W 1J6. Our phone number is the same at 250.383.2331.
2) Big things are happening on our world wide web! First, we are working on a new website and have seen a draft by our amazing design team Christopher Roy and Natasha Kong at Marketworks Media, Inc. based out of Salt Spring. It’s looking great and we’ll let you know when we will be rolling it out.

NEWS
Thanks to all the campus cyclists who participated in the Greater Victoria Bike to Work Week last week! UVic entered 43 teams ranging in size from 3 to over 40 members, and consisting of every possible level of ability you can imagine. We hope everyone had fun at the many campus events and won a few cool prizes. Our grand prizes will be drawn later this week once we receive all the team roasters from the leaders. Interesting that in the Commuter Challenge that kicks off the event, in 17 out of 23 different distance races, bikes demonstrated a FASTER commute to downtown than cars (but you knew that).
The results of UVic’s Waste Audit, conducted in March 2014, are in and we’re thrilled to report that our overall campus waste diversion rate (amount of waste being recycled or composted) has increased to...

Hi everyone,
You're invited to a SEA Talk event at the Fernwood Hall on TUESDAY, JUNE 10 at 1923 Fernwood at 7pm for a lecture and discussion on Decolonization.
From the Facebook Event Page:
Read more: [evoz] SEA Talk Event June 10: Decolonization: What it is and Where to Begin
"Decolonization is a profound process of unlearning and liberation for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who wish to address their positions in a system of exploitation and then commit themselves to transforming that system and building a better world.
Pursuing solutions beyond capitalism must start with untangling the legacy of genocide and expropriation upon which the modern world-economy was built. Thus, the revolutionary futures of all peoples are inextricably bound together.
"From Turtle Island to Palestine, striving toward decolonization and walking together toward transformation requires us to challenge a dehumanizing...

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.

There are two ads by others below ours. Did you notice they gave no web pages or references. If anyone wishes to explore further they will have to go to ours and Seattle's web sites. We are also above them in bigger print!
We got ours in fortuitously on the last day possible. We just happened to hit it right or there would be none from CAIA.
Any one wishing to donate to our advertisement Campaign can inquire at this email address as to where to send a check.
