In the last week, over 100 young people participated in a Free the Children campaign called Halloween for Hunger organized by the Montreal Mobilizers (MOB) and the McGill Free the Children group. With the goal of collecting canned goods instead of candy for local homeless shelters, Mobilizers, McGillians, and their friends went door to door asking for donations while raising awareness about the problem of homelessness in Montreal.

Halloween for Hunger is only one of several events hosted by the MOB throughout the year. The MOB is a group of 30 youth dedicated to making the world a better place and empowering others to do the same. Tired of hearing “we are the future of the country” and “we will make a change,” the Mobilizers attempt to show that youth can make a difference right now, just by putting their passions into action. The MOB’s next event will be the Vow of Silence, a silent demonstration raising awareness for children’s rights taking place in St. Phillips Square of Nov. 20 from 1-2 pm.
