2nd Annual Women's Housing March Sat June 14 @ 2 pm Starts outside Downtown Eastside Women Centre (302 Columbia- corner Cordova, just west of Main) On Saturday June 14 at 2 pm, join women in the Downtown Eastside Women Centre Power of Women Group in the 2nd Annual March for Women's Housing and March Against Poverty! We are marching for: - Social Housing, Childcare, and Healthcare for all! - No more Evictions and No more Condos in the DTES! - People Before Olympic Profits! No Olympics on Stolen Land! - Stop Criminalizing the Poor and Scrap Civil City! - End Global Hunger and Poverty! ------------------- The Power of Women Group is a group at the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre and we do education on social issues. We are a group of women from all walks of life who are either on social assistance, working poor, or homeless; but we are all living in extreme poverty. Many of us are single mothers or have had our children apprehended due to poverty; most of us have chronic physical or mental health issues for example HIV and Hepatitis C; many have drug or alchohol addictions; and a majority have experienced and survived sexual violence and mental, physical, spriritual, and emotional abuse. For indigenous women, we are affected by a legacy of the effects of residential schools and a history of colonization and racism.
