Call out to Rally against MCFD Today!

by DTES Power of Women Group


Gather at Ministry of Child and Family Development Regional Office Tuesday
August 3 from 3:30-5:30 pm
@ 865 Hornby, corner Smithe

The Ministry of Child and Family Development (MCFD) has forcibly removed
many children from their families, especially from single mothers, poor
families, Indigenous communities, and from parents who were themselves
caught in the vicious cycle of foster homes. There are currently more
Indigenous children in the child welfare system than there were in the
residential school system. Thousands of mothers and families are enduring
surveillance and scrutiny instead of receiving support.

The DTES Power of Women Group is organizing to defend and support healthy
families. Almost all the women in our group have had their children
apprehended temporarily or permanently, or are currently facing the threat
of child apprehension.

All welcome, please join us!
