Demand Dignity Campaign Launch - Premiere of "Poverty of Justice" Film

I just returned from Amnesty International (Lethbridge Chapter)'s launch of AI's Demand Dignity campaign.  The event at the Lethbridge Public Library, featured, first, the premier of "Poverty of Justice".  It's a film produced by Amnesty International.  It's about three communities who tell their own stories of the human rights abuses that keep them in poverty. The stories are from Kenya, Peru, and right here in Alberta: Little Buffalo, Alberta (Lubicon Lake Cree).  After the film the human dynamo behind AI Lethbridge, Mary Kosta, introduced agencies in Lethbridge that work to eliminate poverty:
Lethbridge Shelter Resource Centre, 
The Salvation Army
Interfaith Food Bank,
Lethbridge Food Bank
Lethbridge Family Services, 
Lethbridge Native Women's Transition Home Society, 
Streets Alive, 
Red Cross, Lethbridge
Lethbridge Public Interest Research Group, 
YWCA Lethbridge, 
Pathways to Housing, 
Opokaa'sin Early Intervention Society.

(If I've left any out, I hope someone will let me know.)

It was an eye-opening event, both for the depth of poverty that exists in many places in the world, the unfairness of the way the Lubicon Lake Cree have been treated, and the wonderful work that's being done right here in Lethbridge.  Thanks to everyone, especially to AI Lethbridge for bringing this together.
