The IAI support and call for international solidarity.
Dear Comrades and Right to Housing allies across the world,
From September 2nd to September 29, the FRAPRU (Quebec grouping for Right to Housing) is marching from Ottawa to Québec City to defend the right to housing. More than 550 kms will be covered!
Between 35 and 100 persons will participate to this march, each day during 28 days!
The objective is to call-out to the two levels of government of the serious denial of the right to housing that oppresses low-income renters and the insufficient investments in the field of social housing & ask for a real recognition of Right to Housing.
It is without a doubt FRAPRU’s most ambitious project to date.
We write you to ask you to show your support to this extraordinary mobilization for Right to Housing. How?
- Let us know that your organization endorse the March. Already 550 organizations (for 550 km) across Quebec endorse this march. And we know and to show support out of Quebec.
- Express your support and solidarity on Twitter and other Social medias. Use #DeVillesEnVillages and tag @FRAPRU
- Follow us on Twitter (@FRAPRU) and Facebook
- Write to Canadians and Quebec politicians (modal in French enclosed COURRIELS APPUI FRAPRU PROPOSÉS À ENVOYER AUX ÉLU-E-S ET CHEF-FE-S DE PARTI.odt )
