MP Under Fire At Forum

On Saturday, January 26, 2013, several members of PSAC and our allies, attended Jim Hillyer's prebudget forum. Of the almost 30 people in attendance, there were 10 wearing WeAreALLAffected tshirts (plus other PSAC members), 2 wearing IdleNoMore tshirts and several other allies. There were only about four people who perhaps supported (though absolutely quietly) the Conservative MP.

This article appears in the January 27, 2013 Lethbridge Herald. This demonstrates the power of collective political action! First we unite, then we speak, they have begun to listen. Next is change!

Thank you to all our members who showed up, spoke up and supported!

Idle No More

 As you likely know, PSAC is supporting the Idle No More campaign. Here's a letter from Sister Benson -

Locally, our Local and Area Council have lent support to a couple actions. Here is how you can get personally involved in Idle No More. We hope to see you out at some of these events.

All are on Friday, December 21, 2012:

10am-noon - Peaceful rally just west of Brocket 

12pm noon - Solidarity drum circle at Jim Hillyer's office 

Noon-4pm - Peaceful rally and detour near Cardston on Highway to Lethbridge

6pm - Flash mob drum circle and round dance at Park Place mall - Wear red, yellow, black or white and congregate in the hallways from Santa, to food court, to guest services desk. Wait for drumming and join the dance!

Also, take the time to educate yourself on the issues surrounding Idle No More.
