Solidarity weekend with the refugees who sleep on the bridge near Petit Château

Last weekend’s solidarity weekend was a nice success. On Saturday evening, there was a vigil at the bridge, organised by neighbours living around the Petit Château. At night, the neighbours slept outside in a tent, in solidarity with the refugees who have been living there for months. On Sunday, there was a small parade and Friendship Without Borders brunch, where several speakers spoke.

The organisers succeeded in their aim. There was once again press coverage of the shelter crisis. Here are some links:
