It was a good turn out at the rally today. I think we managed to make some noise and raise some awareness. Media was there and a respectable size crowd. The police eventually made an appearance (after the rally was over).
Our work isn't finished.
Next week in Halifax we are celebrating International Women's Day. You can believe that we will be there informing women of what Harper's government is trying to accomplish by pushing this bill through.
I hope that the Liberals heard our voices today and will work towards removing these 3 things from the bill. Women's Pay Equity, Wage Roll Backs (free collective bargaining) and strengthen (not weaken) Employment Insurance.
I will post pictures from today's rally as soon as I can. Keep posted to this blog because until the bill is passed or defeated, I will be updating it with what is going on.
Take time to call, fax and email ALL of the Liberal MPs and ask them to take these 3 things out of the budget and protect women's and worker's rights!
