I’m extremely pleased to announce that after some debate my colleagues on council passed my motion in support of the Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria, our arm of the worldwide “occupy” movement (see motion below).
Best regards,
Philippe Lucas
*Motion in Support of the People’s Assembly of Victoria*
Whereas there is currently a worldwide citizens movement to address historic and existing inequalities in financial and governmental institutions, policies and practices;
And whereas the People’s Assembly of Victoria represents local resident participation and public engagement in this global protest and dialogue;
And whereas the City of Victoria supports the democratic rights of Canadians and people all over the world to non-violent assembly and social protest;
Be it so moved that the City of Victoria supports the People’s Assembly of Victoria.
Respectfully submitted by
Philippe Lucas
Victoria City Council
