CANADIAN ANARCHIST MOVEMENT-TORONTO:
GIMMI SHELTER DEMONSTRATION TOMORROW:
Winter has descended on our northern land, and, as usual, the powers that be are playing the Grinch. The Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) wants them to act rather than ignore. Here's their notice for a demonstration tomorrow about the need for emergency shelter.

Gimmie Shelter! Demand Winter Homelessness Relief!:
Nov 26: GIMME SHELTER!
Nov 26: GIMME SHELTER!
Demand winter homelessness relief!
*12noon – Wednesday, November 26, 2008
Corner of Queen & Sherbourne
*HOT LUNCH PROVIDED****
Demonstration & press conference*
*Winter is coming – and the shelters are full. This is an emergency!
**GIMME SHELTER!
Demand the government ACT NOW to provide more emergency shelter and food!
The economy is crashing and people are losing their jobs – and their homes. More and more of our brothers and sisters are being pushed onto the streets, in need of safe shelter and food. But THE SHELTERS ARE ALREADY FULL! In fact, the government has recently CUT hundreds of beds from the system!
With winter setting in, this is a matter of life and death, with hungry people spending nights outside the over-crowded shelters as the temperature drops. The government MUST ACT NOW to prevent even more deaths!
*We urgently need more, *safe* beds and meals to deal with the crisis right now - in addition to decent housing.
EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO SAFE AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE SHELTER & FOOD!
