COCo Note |
Will You Strike With Us on November 2nd and 3rd?On November 2nd and 3rd, community organizations across Québec will strike as part of an ongoing movement against austerity and for an increase in funding and recognition for the community sector. For the community sector, a strike doesn’t mean closing our doors: its means moving our resources and energy towards the collective struggle for the well being of our organizations. COCo will be attending the demonstration on November 3rd, at 1:30pm, at the corner of Sherbrooke and University in front of Minister Couillard’s office. Will we see you there? We are more than happy to answer any questions you mights have about why COCo has decided to strike, what the strike is about in general, and how you can get involved. |
