[Tamara Lorincz]

Hello KW Peace!

Hope you are having a good long weekend. A few things to let you know about:

1.
This Sunday, August 4 at 2pm there is a “Call to Action” rally to the stop the genocide in Gaza at Kitchener City Hall. Organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement. It’s 300+ days of a brutal Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza with Canadian complicity.

2.
HELPING THE HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT THIS MONDAY? Last minute notice: If you would like to join me on Monday morning, August 5 around 10:00 am to bring some food & drinks to the Victoria St. encampment (corner with Weber St and near the Via Rail Station), please let me know. Long weekends are very difficult for people living in the encampment because there are very few services open. I'm going to bring some food, drinks, bedding etc. but if you'd like to bring stuff too that would be great! Or you can drop off at my house on Sunday: 511 Chesapeake Crescent. 💟
