September 30 will mark #NDTR2022.
This September, we invite allies to take one personal action per day that promotes genuine understanding and commitment to change.
We will post one action each day at 10:00 AM (PDT) on this thread, starting this Thursday 🧡

@BackstageRider @geoffberner direct donations to @VANDUpeople at 380 East Hastings Street Vancouver BC V6A 1P4
@distro_disco is taking e-transfers sent to [email protected] (please add “stop the sweeps” in the memo)
really any of the orgs mentioned in this thread!
take action and endorse the demands to #StopTheSweep – how more people aren't completely enraged by the state of these divides in our 'apartheid city' is beyond me https://t.co/nURlkj9ItN
Echoing @pivotlegal & #OurStreets' demands: "If the City and BC Housing fail to provide any housing options, there must be alternative locations provided for folks to tent without threats of eviction." https://t.co/JJKOrWqbhE
For immediate release: Please see PACE's statement on the action by @VancouverPD against unhoused neighbours, organizers, and activists.

Thread 🧵:
Distro disco is coordinating emergency eviction supplies for our neighbours on Hastings by distributing needed items
There are 2 ways to contribute
1. Purchase and deliver supplies
2. Contribute money so that we can purchase and deliver supplies
3. Need met for distribution!
We are seeking donations to help support our unhoused comrades being decamped along Hastings. Please donate, share, and boost this post so we can get folks the resources they need in these trying times. #enddisplacement#vanpoli#housingnow
The long over-criminalization of the DTES community and its members calls for deep systemic and community-led policy change – housing rights has always been an issue of human rights. #DTES#StopTheSweeps#vanpoli
