SOCIAL HOUSING NOW! UNITED WE STAND!

Saturday March 2, 2013
Noon - 1pm
Vancouver Art Gallery, Robson Street
(750 Hornby St. Vancouver)

Taking place on unceded Coast Salish Territory: the traditional territory of the Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueum, and Skwxwú7mesh/Squamish nations.

On Saturday March 2, the Social Housing Coalition of BC will STAND united in Vancouver and demand that social housing be a central issue in the coming BC provincial election. The rally will gather all the STANDs and their supporters from across Metro Vancouver as a sign of unity and support for a comprehensive solution to BC’s housing crisis. Grab your “Social Housing Now” banners, come show your support and join the rally on the Robson Street side of the Vancouver Art Gallery!

Shortly after noon, the rally will take to the streets and march through downtown. This united, roving STAND for Social Housing will end at 1pm at the Vancouver Public Library (350 W Georgia St). The rally and march will be the second major mobilization of the social housing campaign to change the discussion about the housing crisis in BC and influence the platforms of the major parties running for the election in May.

Come to get involved in the fight for social housing.

Start and end locations of the event are close to mass transit (Skytrain stations and important bus routes).
