A Womb With A View would love to create a Protect Art piece with those in attendance and have it stand along side speakers sharing their thoughts and signs held high by people who care. This Artivism would involve tying cloth or ribbon onto a basic scarecrow figure. Each cloth would have a statement or word written on it about the harm that would come with this Bill e.g. violation of human rights, criminalization of the poor, stigmatization of people who use substances, further displacement of Indigenous folks on their own lands, etc.

Collective Art | Bill 6 and Bylaw Info | Petition Signing

  • Stand against Bill 6 and the 100 Victoria by-law punishing unhoused individuals’ survival.
  • Help build collective art piece of resistance
  • Write a word naming this harm on ribbon and add it to a scarecrow figure. Scare away Bill 6!

Dr. Erin Dej writes via the Unsheltered Campaign:

Hi friends,

As many of you know, I’ve been doing research the last 4 years on misperceptions of homelessness in mid-size cities, including in Cambridge. The research has all come together by way of a documentary called Bridging Divides: Voices & Visions on Homelessness in Mid-Size Cities. The documentary explores the issue of homelessness, safety, and belonging by showcasing voices from diverse backgrounds, including conversations with individuals with lived experience of homelessness, service providers, business owners, and law enforcement.

We are holding a screening and panel discussion on 18 November 2024 from 7:00 – 8:30 at the Old Post Office Library (12 Water Street South) in Cambridge. It would mean so much if you were able to attend. As you know, Cambridge is struggling right now, so this conversation is more important than ever.

The panel discussion is going to feature Dr. Laura Pin, as well as Marjorie Knight and José de Lima, so you know it’s going to be a great conversation!

You will find all the details in the poster below and in case you’re able to share on any of your social media. All the details are at Wilfrid Laurier University website.

Thanks everyone!

Erin
