SUMMARY:UPDATED: Demonstration Today in Support of Crisis Shelter Residents and to Demand Permanent Solutions to the Housing Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Halifax City Council stands down on removal after public outcry – ACORN\, Halifax Mutual Aid\, and Allies rallying to support residents and demand the city find permanent solutions. \n\n\n\nFor Immediate Release\, January 25th\, 2021. \n\n\n\nFor more details and to speak with spokespeople contact ACORN organizer Sydnee Blum at halifax@acorncanada.org. \n\n\n\n(Halifax\, NS)  After public outcry last night\, Halifax City Council has backed down on the removal of the crisis shelters built by Halifax Mutual Aid. The city seemed to assume the shelters were unoccupied\, and have since clarified the shelters won’t be removed as long as people are living there. ACORN and Halifax Mutual Aid are still rallying to support the tenants and demand the city take permanent action to keep people off the streets. \n\n\n\nWHAT: Stop Encampment Evictions & Demand Housing for All \n\n\n\nWHEN: TODAY – Monday\, January 25th at 9am WHERE: Leighton Dillman Park (near Dartmouth Common) \n\n\n\nHalifax Mutual Aid writes\, “To clarify some of the rash assumptions the City has about the emergency shelters: The second shelter is Currently Occupied. So DO NOT COME DEMOLISH SOMEONE’S MEANS OF SURVIVAL. It should be clear to everyone that the HRM did not do their due diligence.”

SUMMARY:CANADA: Stop Arming Saudi: Yemen Can't Wait
DESCRIPTION:Main Rd and Avenger Place\, Shearwater (HRM)\n \nAnti-war\, Yemeni and humanitarian activists from all over the world are coming together for an international day of action on January 25th 2021. In Halifax\, we are targeting arms manufacturer Raytheon\, which has been singled out as the main supplier of missiles to Saudi Arabia\, which leads a coalition that is bombing and enforcing a blockade against Yemen.\n \nSince the Yemen war began\, Raytheon has booked at least a dozen major sales to Saudi and its partners worth more than $5 billion\, including $3 billion in bombs and bomb parts. While these contracts are officially with Raytheon in the US\, Raytheon in Canada supplies Raytheon in the US through subcontracts\, including $63 million* in missiles and components with Raytheon Missile Systems\, which supplies Saudi Arabia.\n \nCanada is also supplying Saudi Arabia directly with light armoured vehicles manufactured in London Ontario and more than 30 large-calibre artillery systems and 152 heavy machine guns. This deal\, valued at $15 billion\, made Saudi Arabia the largest non-U.S. export destination for Canadian arms in 2019.\n \nFor a period of 19 months after the killing of Jamal Khashoggi\, Canada put in place a moratorium on arms exports to Saudi Arabia\, a ban that conveniently did not apply to existing contracts such as the $15 billion General Dynamics contract for light armoured vehicles. But then Canada lifted even this limited moratorium in April 2020\, based on a flawed report from Global Affairs Canada\, which ignored the documented evidence of Canadian weapons being used in human rights abuses\, including the war in Yemen.\n \nYemen is home to the world’s worst humanitarian disaster\, and we must challenge Canadian complicity in this crisis.\n \n#YemenCantWait #CanStopArmingSaudi\n* data gathered by Operation Plowshares\n \nCOVID SAFETY MEASURESThis will be an outdoor event with social distancing and masks (we’ll have masks on hand if you forget yours!).
