The People of B.C. are SPEAKING OUT!

What are people doing about it?
So people are angry. More than 100,000 British Columbians have joined together at rallies to protest the budget and the new laws. People are telling the Premier and the MLAs by phone, at meetings, in person and by letter that the legislation must be withdrawn.
People are working with the Solidarity Coalition. The Coalition includes religious groups, community groups and labour groups. A majority of British Columbians are members of one of the groups of the Coalition.
What does the Solidarity Coalition want?
The government didn’t tell you what it planned to do before it got elected. It didn’t give you a fair chance to decide. That is not responsible government.
The Solidarity Coalition wants responsible government, a government that listens to the people. The Solidarity Coalition wants the government to withdraw its legislation and to initiate a broad public discussion with all British Columbians.
