Brent, you have a prolific history of spreading hate.
Sit this out.
Tomorrow marks one year since Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old serviceman of the U.S. Air Force, self-immolated in front of the Israeli Embassy to protest U.S. complicity in the genocide of Gaza.
With his last words he shouted “Free Palestine, free Palestine…” Never forget.
Musqueam Elder Kelly White from WAHRS is opening the event with a blessing and a few :
“We all have a right to life, the right to not be harassed by police if we are homeless, the right to live with dignity”
Kelly singing the song of all four directions
Dave Hamm (VANDU Board member and activist with Our Homes Can’t Wait):
Dave gives an amazing history of the shift from social housing to supportive housing in the past decade. The government has suspended RTA rights and created an increasingly carceral housing system.

Must read: Absolutely devastating piece in @guardian detailing some of the torture inflicted on Palestinian health workers by Israel:
- Abductions from the operating room
- Being stripped and kept in the cold
- Beatings to the point of being unable to walk
- Teeth being broken
- Rapes
- Murders
- Starvation
- Sleep derivation
- Being blindfolded and restrained for >100 days
Not one of these health workers has been charged with any crime.
One surgeon, Dr. Abu Ajwa was told by Israeli personnel that they wanted to make his hands not functional.
‘Since he was released from detention, Abu Ajwa has not managed to fix his broken teeth but has gone back to work in Gaza’s shattered healthcare system.
“As for the interrogator who was determined to make me lose sensation in my hands, I say: ‘no matter what you do … I am a doctor, and I will practice my profession. I will always continue, until my last breath, to be in the operating theatre.’”’
We are here at City Hall to make our voices heard!
