Rainbow Week of Action Community Potluck and Letter Writing Party

Wednesday, May 15, 6pm at the Fernie Seniors Drop-In Centre (562 3^rd Avenue). From May 11th to May 17th, the Society of Queer Momentum (Momentum), alongside partner organizations across Canada, is organizing a National Rainbow Week of Action to raise our voices to urge elected officials and governments at every level to take meaningful steps to address rising hate and advance equality for 2SLGBTQIA+ people in Canada. The goal of the Rainbow Week of Action is to create a more free, equal, and socially just Canada. For elected officials and governments at every level to confront rising hate and advance 2SLGBTQIA+ equality. Ultimately, we are calling for individual Elected Officials to:

• Complete our Rainbow Pledge in support of 2SLGBTQIA+ rights and rainbow equality.

• Publicly condemn the rise in anti-2SLGBTQIA+ hate taking place across Canada.

• Speak up in the House of Commons, Council Meetings or Legislature to urge action to

advance rainbow equality and address rising hate.

To help aid this cause, Fernie Pride is hosting a Community Potluck and Letter Writing Party. Bring a dish to share and your beverage of choice. We will supply all the stamps, paper, envelopes, and whatever else you may need to craft your letter. We will also have a letter template available for you to use if you like.
