As spring arrived and the
days began getting longer
again, the Working
Group to Stop Bill C-51
marked two years of
weekly organizing with
its 104th weekly picket
and petition drive, and
revived its banner drop
actions. The campaign
for a full Repeal of Bill
C-51 continues in full
swing as Justin Trudeau
and the Liberal government continue
to attempt to avoid the issue entirely.
The 104th action was held at the busy
intersection of Broadway and Cambie
in Vancouver, and even though the
Working Group has held actions
there many times before, the response
continues to be constant and dynamic.
This also continues to be the case at
New Westminster Station, where two
weeks later local university students
continued to show a lot of interest in
the issue.
The Working Group also made it out
to Surrey Central Skytrain Station.
Despite a torrential downpour
organizers were still able to engage with
a lot of new people and gain some much
important exposure in the growing and
diverse community.
With sunsets happening later and later,
the Working Group decided to return
to banner drops and the familiar sounds
of honking from supportive drivers
once again fills the air close to busy
overpasses. This campaign will continue
to alternate between pickets and banner
drops during the spring and summer
months.
The Working Group has also created
new signs which say, “HONK to Repeal
Bill C-51!” and has some new banner
ideas as well. As long as the unjust and
unnecessary Bill C-51 continues to be
a law, we will continue to organize to
repeal it.
REPEAL BILL C-51!
