[Sanctuarycity_hamilton] Fwd: INFO FOR SATURDAY: Provincial Access Without Fear campaign

[Caitlin Craven]

HI folks,

I just wanted to send out the latest update from the folks in Toronto
organizing the meeting for this Saturday about a provincial campaign, and
also check in again if anyone is interested in going.  I am only going to
be there till 1pm and it looks like all the big talking points are actually
scheduled for afterwards.  If not, that is fine, I think it is enough to go
to be in touch with the organizers and get further updates on the campaign
as it progresses.  Right now, it also feels like we might be spreading
ourselves a bit thin in terms of what folks have capacity for, so I'm not
suggesting adding to this.

Anyway, let me know if anyone wants to come with, or if anyone has thoughts
they would like me to share based on the questions the organizers have
asked in the email below.

cheers,
Caitlin
