A group of people from Gibsons calling itself FerryHostage.com has launched a campaign to try to hit sa国际传媒 Ferries 鈥渨here it counts, at the till.鈥�
The sa国际传媒 Ferries Hunger Strike asks ferry riders not to purchase any food on board Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in protest of sailing cuts and fare increases they say are starving ferry-dependent communities.
FerryHostage.com organizer Stephanie Clarke says the letters, meetings and protests so far have been great, 鈥渉owever, we are still weak in the eyes of the political powers that be about ferry reform because we are not visible enough every day.
鈥淲e are not organized anywhere close to the extent we should be to be effective and to apply pressure,鈥� Clarke said. 鈥淭his is hurting us. We aren鈥檛 utilizing social media in a way that could dramatically widen our reach and increase our political potential.鈥�
She urges everyone to like the Ferryhostage and Fiscal Fairness Facebook pages in a show of support, as well as bcferrycoalition.com. This is a step toward getting organized, she said.
鈥淲e could make some significant headway if we all did this with enough zero鈥檚 attached to it,鈥� Clarke said.
