Subject: Red Tents for a National Housing Strategy - please distribute
widely!

As you may have heard,
<http://www.redtents.org/learn.php?id=38&page=Bill%20C-304> Bill C-304 will
be going before Parliament in just a few weeks. It’s a major opportunity for
a national solution to the problem of homelessness. Please forward this to
any (and all) organizations working on anti-poverty and housing issues who
would be interested in working together to get this bill passed. Thanks! 

 

John Richardson, Executive Director,  <http://www.pivotlegal.org/> Pivot
Legal Society.

 

 

 


Together, we can end homelessness!

 

The  <http://www.redtents.org/> Red Tent Campaign is inviting organizations
across Canada to join in creating a national movement to end homelessness. 

 

Red Tent will be distributing red tents and tarps to partner organizations
in cities across Canada, and your organization can
<mailto:housingnow at redtents.org> sign up to use and distribute them. Red
tents and tarps can be given to homeless people in your community, providing
shelter and asserting their
<http://www.redtents.org/action.php?id=37&page=::%20Organizing%20Nationally#
defendrights> constitutional right to shelter. Or, they can be used in
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDUPsCXUt_E&feature=player_embedded> direct
actions to raise public awareness of the need for a national housing
strategy to end homelessness. Or both!

 

 
<http://www.redtents.org/action.php?id=37&page=::%20Organizing%20Nationally>

Ensemble, nous pouvons mettre fin au problème des sans abri!

  

La campagne  <http://www.redtents.org/> Tente Rouge invite les groupes
anti-pauvreté et autres organisations sociales du Canada à s’unir dans un
mouvement national pour mettre fin au probleme des sans abri.

 

La campagne Tente Rouge distribuera des tentes rouges et des bâches aux
organisations partenaires dans les villes à travers le Canada et votre
organisation peut  <mailto:housingnow at redtents.org> s'inscrire pour les
utiliser et les distribuer. Les tentes rouges et les bâches peuvent être
données aux sans-abri dans votre communauté leur fournissant ainsi un abri
et affirmant leur
<http://www.redtents.org/action.php?id=40&page=::%20S%27organiser%20au%20niv
eau%20national#droits> droit constitutionnel a un abri. Ou, elles peuvent
être utilisées dans des
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDUPsCXUt_E&feature=player_embedded> actions
directes de prise de conscience publique pour la nécessité d’une Strategie
Nationale du Logement. Ou tous les deux!
