STAND TOGETHER FOR OUR CIVIL RIGHTS CONCERT 2014

Good afternoon everyone;

Well, these are exciting times for sure.  There is great hope all around as long as we are willing to be patient.  It has been proven over the years that great things are often achieved with perseverance, focus and determination.  The key in this case is to "focus on a single goal" that being, the Civil Rights Now Proposal for two statutes - the Community Care (Direct Payments) Act and the Civil Rights of Persons in Community Care Act.

In past years, many have worked tirelessly to try and get the government to listen to our cries for help by having "stop the cuts" rallies, unfortunately, to no avail.  It feels like we are banging our heads against brick walls.  

So, the solution......(there always is one).....is to focus on a single goal, driven by clarity, focus and persistence.  We realize that this will take some time but we also believe that we have clear objectives with clear solutions - that are also fairly easily attained.

So..... in June, 2014, we are planning an amazing concert event entitled "STAND TOGETHER FOR OUR CIVIL RIGHTS CONCERT 2014".  It promises to be a fabulous social musical extravaganza with  a positive political message.  

We realize that there are many issues out there affecting many of our friends, family, co-workers etc. in many ways.  Obviously these will at some point need to  be addressed. We believe that the single goal we are presently supporting will ultimately give us the power we need to fight for those issues.  Until we have that power through Civil Rights, we can expect to continue banging our heads against brick walls and get nowhere.  But, with your support, we can accomplish far more by being patient.

If you are interested in supporting us to see this through, we welcome your assistance.  You can help by sharing the following link www.civilrightsnow.ca and submitting their PROPOSAL to your MLA  (it is clearly explained how to do that)  Also Civil Rights Now are having a fabulous fundraiser called "Radical Rags- the fashion of activism" presented by Ivan Sayers.  It will be at  St. Andrews Wesley United Church at 2 pm Saturday, February 22 and would make a great Valentines' treat.  You will also find this on their webpage as stated above.  

We look forward to seeing you all at the CONCERT in June.  Date, time and location to be announced.  We welcome your comments on this blog.
