People Social Forum Ottawa -Thursday August 21 to Sunday August 24, 2014

Greetings Sisters and Brothers,

 

The Peoples’ Social Forum taking place in Ottawa is shaping up to be the largest gathering of progressive organizations, unions and activists, Canada-wide.

The Forum will take place from Thursday August 21 to Sunday August 24, 2014, with a large rally planned on Parliament Hill on the 21st at 3pm. 

 

PSAC will be offering 1 day of Leave Without Pay and the $25 registration fee for the Forum for a total of 25 members throughout the Ontario Region.

This partial funding is to help offset the financial burden for members who will take part in the Forum and will be based on the responses from interested members to the following 2 questions:

1. Why are you interested in attending the Peoples’ Social Forum?
2. How are you involved in your community promoting issues of social justice?

 

Each answer to the above questions should be no longer than 200 words each. Please reply back directly to this Regional Office email no later than August 6, 2014 by 3pm with your responses. 

 

Note that accommodations and expenses are not being provided, however, the Peoples’ Social Forum does have caravans and special accommodation rates listed here: http://www.peoplessocialforum.org/ottawa

In Solidarity,

Sharon DeSousa,
Regional Executive Vice-President – Ontario
