Ellen’s Schedule for Hunger Strike Relay
As part of her week-long fast in support of the Hunger Strike Relay, Councillor Woodsworth will be spending time in different areas of the city to talk to people about the hidden costs of homelessness. She will be handing out Valentines Day cards and encouraging people to send them to their MPs or the Prime Minister to ask them to support Bill C-304 – MP Libby Davies’ bill to start a national housing program. A Facebook group has just been created at http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=299608881002&ref=mf
