                Rally against VPD's war on the poor!
                    Wednesday Dec. 14th @ 12:30
                    312 Hastings St. (cop shop)

The Anti-Poverty Committee (APC) and the West Coast Aboriginal Harm
Reduction Society (WHARS) will be protesting the Vancouver Police
Department's (VPD) ongoing war against the poor at this month's Police
Board meeting.

The APC, WHARS and other grassroots organizations have been engaged in an 
escalating campaign against the VPD over the last two weeks. This 
mobilization is a reaction to the VPD's announcement that they will step 
up their arrests and brutality targeted at drug users in the Downtown 
Eastside.

Please support our rally and show your solidarity with the delegation we
will be sending inside to address the new Police Board chair and mayor Sam
Sullivan. We are united in our demands and our struggle against racist
profiling and all other forms of police violence!
