The @Forgotten519 checked in with Dan this morning @CityofLdnOnt City Hall

He is feeling tired, but is mentally strong & determined to make change for housing deprived people in #ldnont

Dan started his hunger strike at 185 lb

He has lost 9 lb, weighing in at 175.6 lb today

[The Forgotten 519 @Forgotten519]

Finally, if you can, pop down and show Dan your support in his hunger strike

@Forgotten519 is grateful for Dan having the courage & resolve to support our community in #ldnont

We thank you Dan.

. @Forgotten519 is humbled by the volume of support from individuals & agencies

We are receiving so many letters & messages of support, our team no longer has the capacity to tweet every letter

However it is still critical @CityofLdnOnt & #ldnont sees your support!
