Starting at Christy Clark’s office about 10:15am

Raise the Rates and others are organizing a *Walk for Welfare Justice* on
Wednesday, March 27. The purpose is to highlight the need for a real and
significant increase in welfare rates as part of a comprehensive
anti-poverty plan.

We will start at Christy Clark’s office (3615 West 4th Ave) and plan to
deliver an open letter and maybe even speak with her or her staff. We will
then walk across town, holding brief soapbox meetings at main
intersections, to Adrian Dix’s office (5022 Joyce Street), where again we
will deliver an open letter and seek a meeting. We will hold a news
conference/rally at the start and finish.

*We are inviting people to join us for all or part of the walk. You are
welcome to bring banner and home made placards*. We are working on the
details of food, toilets, support transport (there will be an escort
vehicle if people need help, etc), etc. Click
