An Invitation to the Green Ribbon Campaign Launch



Friends of Transition Houses Network launches Green Ribbon Campaign

The Friends of Transition Houses Network, a group of allies joined by their common interest in ensuring the safety and security of women and children fleeing domestic abuse, are gathering at the Nova Scotia Provincial Legislature at 12 noon on Thursday, September 17, 2009. We will be at the main entrance facing Hollis Street and the event will take place regardless of the weather.

We are raising awareness about the operational funding for transition houses, which has been frozen for over a decade, through the launch of our Green Ribbon Campaign. We will be tying bouquets of green ribbons to the fence around the legislature. We are using the colour green to signify renewal and abundance.

A renewal in the way public monies are distributed and a renewal in the way government and community interact. We must all work to create a society that equally shares its abundance. We cannot and must not allow our social services to be eroded for they are the foundation of a just society.

Please join us in sending a message to the government.
