Seeking Justice for Newcomers
New issue of Megaphone hits the streets today
As 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!
