Solidarity to our TSLGBTQIA+ community members who were exposed to hatred and violence yesterday. Trans rights are human rights. Reach out to your friends and family who might be struggling to make it through the day right now. We keep each other safe.
Our statement to @InfoPEI on their response to hurricane Fiona and their preparedness for future disasters. Islanders deserve to know that their government will step up and keep them safe.
We are hosting our second Freecycle market this weekend on Saturday Sept 9th from 10am-4pm! This is a family friendly event. We had a great turnout last time and we’d love to see you there!
today is the day! We can’t wait to see you all💛
Here’s our schedule for the free market in Rochford Square tomorrow! Feel free to stop by, grab some food, take in some music, sit in a workshop… No matter what, hopefully you’ll leave with something you didn’t have before!
Join us on Sat, July 15th from 10am until 5pm for a pop up outdoor free market & community day.
We hope FreeCycle not only gives folks a chance at getting some items they need or want, but an opportunity to come together to meet and foster community. More details over on Insta!
UPDATE: Due to capacity, we are not providing food support at this time & are limiting our focus to Charlottetown at this time. We are trying to build community-generated supports & will be launching a facebook group where the community can all support one another.
CMA stands in solidarity with the trans community. With the rise of anti-trans rhetoric and harm happening on the island, we stronger encourage you all to attend this rally in support of the TGD community on April 2nd.
thank you @karlabernardmla for stepping up on this when others who should’ve did not. we keep each other safe! 💗
A citizen ran out of oil because no one from @InfoPEI called them back when they were trying to access programs. @ChtownMutualAid stepped up and after a full days work involving a lot of Jerry cans…they have heat! Community steps in to fill the gaps in govt once again! #peipoli

@PEIPublicSafety
one of our members just dropped off a box of food leftover from the warming centre. Thank you @hannahbethbell for bringing this to everyone’s attention.
Hey lovely #pei people I just stopped by the community fridge in Charlottetown and it is completely empty. All the food I put in was gone before I left the parking lot. If you can help out, thank you! 🙏💚
it is too cold for anyone to be without heat. this needs to be fixed asap. please check on your vulnerable neighbours, family, and friends. 💛
FYI the emergency after hours @InfoPEI housing number 888 557 6049 is not working. There is at least one senior who has reached out to me because they do not have heat and cannot get through. I have been trying too. Trying to get a hold of @matthewmackaypc to let him know.
We now have a phone number, 782-377-5545 if you need a drive to the warming centre!
A few updates on this. First, @ChtownMutualAid, a local volunteer group, is operating a warming centre tonight through tomorrow at the Jack Blanchard Hall in Chtown. We just got a release from the city about preps for the coming cold temps which somehow failed to mention this...
