Please act for threatened UCC partners and activists in Colombia

Posted on: 07/09/2012 17:03

A chilling death threat has been sent to 13 human rights defenders in Colombia, including Lilia Solano, part of the Justice and Life Project and someone who's visited us many times to share what's happening there.

KAIROS and the United Church are calling for people to respond with letters to officials in Colombia and Canada. Info will also be posted on the UCC site.

Going to Queen's Park

Posted on: 06/01/2009 21:42

Some of you know that I have been fighting to get proper services for my severely disabled daughter, and have been stymied in many different ways by the Provincial government. Thanks to the helpfulness of the Ontario NDP, Daria and I will be in attendance at Queen's Park on Wednesday for Question Period, when there will be a question asked to the government about their refusal to fund the programs they have already established to help people like us.
