The BC Coalition of Women's Centres announces
the WOMEN'S BUCKS Campaign -- A new currency in British Columbia!
In an interview in the Langley, BC-based Advance News, on
February 15, 2002, British Columbia Minister of State Responsible
for Women's Equality and Social Programs, Lynn Stephens, suggested
a solution for those troubled by poverty and wage inequity:
"Well, then, make more money."
Some women have taken Minister Stephens to heart and have,
indeed, set out to make more money. WOMEN'S BUCKS are now available
for you to use! Some suggestions for use of Women's Bucks include
paying increased MSP premiums, BC Hydro bills and any other provincially-related
expense.
WOMEN’S BUCKS are located online at: www.bcwomen.cjb.net
People are also encouraged to take WOMEN'S BUCKS when attending
rallies, forums, or other events. The BC Coalition of Women's
Centres is asking everyone to please print WOMEN'S BUCKS and distribute
them!
