Seeking Justice for Newcomers

New issue of Megaphone hits the streets today

Megaphone_129_coverAs British Columbians get ready to head to the voting booth, the new issue of Megaphone out today covers a few topics politicians aren’t talking about, but still need to be heard.
Justice for all: Harsha Walia, an activist for immigrant and refugee justice, sits down with Megaphone to discuss how new federal laws and a tasteless reality TV show stigmatize newcomers to Canada.
Reaching out: The Canadian Mental Health Association outlines four steps B.C.’s next provincial government should take to improve the lives of people living with mental illness.
Now and Then: A new art project from Vancouver’s grunt gallery puts a modern twist on a 40-year old photography exhibit depicting life in bohemian-era Vancouver.
Remembering Trev: Megaphone vendor Ron McGrath remembers his friend, an unassuming homeless man whose absence is keenly felt on the UBC campus.
Also in this issue: W2 Belongs to Me examines a co-op model and potential programming for a proposal for the Woodwards space; poetry from our writing workshops; arts listings; horoscopes; and more!
