  • Moose Hide Campaign Day National Rally

    Moose Hide Campaign Day National Rally

    Featured
    Off-site , Canada

    Moose Hide Campaign Day National Rally ~ Thursday, May 14 11:00am The United Church of Canada issued the following invitation to its members and the faith communities to which they belong. As we approach May, The United Church of Canada calls on members, friends, and communities of faith to take a clear stance against racism and for justice. We are inviting our Ontario regions to lead the way by joining us in person for the Moose Hide Campaign Day National Rally at Queen’s Park in Toronto on Thursday, May 14. The Moose Hide Campaign is more than a day; it is a mobilization against the ongoing national crisis of violence facing Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people. Indigenous women, who make up just 5 percent of the female population, are disproportionately affected by gender-based violence in Canada. These are not just statistics. This is a reality we cannot ignore. Join us at Queen’s Park. If you are in Southern Ontario, we encourage your community of faith to join us on the grounds of the Ontario Legislature from 12:00pm to 1:30pm for the national rally. The United Church of Canada contingent will be meeting at the southeast corner of the park, near Queen’s Park Crescent East and Wellesley Street West at 11:45am. Hide pins, which you can wear as often as you want, to show your concern and solidarity, are available from Nigel on Sunday, May 10 at our worship service. There is no cost for these pins. As the Campaign organizers say these pins are ‘medicine’, in the traditional understanding of Canada’s Indigenous people. They are given, not bought, for all medicine is a gift from Creator. Feel free though to make a donation to The Moose Hide Campaign by way of acknowledging the medicine gift. Jean and Nigel invite you to meet them at the North East (down escalator) entrance to the Lawrence Subway Station at 11:00am journeying to join other United Church folk to take a clear stance against racism and for justice. Learn more about the Moose Hide Campaign.
