[van-announce] event Sept 24

[feet flat on the floor]

Dear Community Member,

This is a letter inviting your organization to endorse our demand to 
reinstate funding to women’s centres, sexual assault centres and other 
support programs for women, and to attend our September 24, art action, 
‘Free Art: artists on the street to save woman’s lives’.  This event is 
happening at the Provincial Court House on Robson Street (across the street 
from the Vancouver Art Gallery, 8oo Block Robson Street) at 5:00 PM.

BC has the highest rate of violence against women in Canada with over 59% of 
women having experienced sexual or physical violence.  The cuts to community 
based services for women who have experienced sexual assault will place 
women’s lives at risk; coupled with existing cuts to women’s centres this 
government has left women with nowhere to run.

We have chosen to use art with it strengths in nuances of emotion to 
emphasize the human sacrifice of this government’s legislation.  The action 
itself will be a mix of performance based work such as theatre and dance 
with speakers interspersed throughout.

We, Alternatives Made Visual, are asking your organization to endorse our 
demand to reinstate funding to women’s centres, sexual assault centres, and 
women's support services, and we encourage you to attend this art action.  
Please bring your banners, signs and friends as a show of solidarity.

This will be a child friendly event.

In Solidarity
