British Columbia has
taken the lead in the 2008 People’s Voice Fund
Drive, passing 44% of their regional target by turning in $8851 as of
April 5. The Maritimes and Newfoundland are now in second place, with
$475 raised, or 40% of their $1200 target. Ontario is starting to make
a move, with $8057 raised, or 40% of their goal. In total, we are at
$18,543, or 37%.
This issue of PV will be distributed at a wide range of events across the country, marking two important dates: Earth Day (April 22) and the Day of Mourning for workers killed on the job (April 28). We’ll be there to make the point that the pro-capitalist policies of the Harper Tories and other right wing governments are killing workers, and sacrificing the planet we live on for the sake of higher profits.
This is the point in the Fund Drive when most fundraising events start to kick in. Please do your part to help us keep publishing, by attending one and bringing a friend!
