Red Tent Campaign to end Canada's Housing CrisisCMAQ via Mic, Lundi, Août 9, 2010 - 20:03 It’s been almost two decades since the federal government handed off responsibility for housing to the provinces, making Canada the only G-8 country without a national housing strategy. The end result is a housing crisis that the UN described as a “national emergency.” Red Tent is an open source campaign spearheaded by Vancouver-based Pivot Legal Society. Across the country, individuals and organizations have become a part of the Red Tent Campaign to work toward the common goal of a funded national housing strategy that will end homelessness and ensure secure, adequate, accessible and affordable housing for all people living in Canada. Modelled after a successful campaign in Paris, Red Tents are a symbol of Canada’s housing crisis and the growing support for a funded national housing strategy. Our strategy is to use red tents to draw attention to Canada’s homelessness epidemic, educate the public about the need for a funded national housing strategy and mobilize people across the country to pressure government to take action on homelessness. Everyone who believes that housing is a right and support the basis of unity is invited to get involved in creating a lasting solution to homelessness. Check out: www.redtents.org to learn more. |
