Please consider donating! It is unconscionable that refugee claimants and asylum seekers are without food and water, let alone shelter. Myself and @lorrainelamchop are asking for your help to purchase these items to help keep people hydrated and well. https://t.co/iGFmQHnulc
Since 2014, our PEACH (Palliative Education And Care for the Homeless) Program has compassionately cared for 1000+ unhoused people across the City of Toronto.

Powerful rally with @SHJNetwork and @DrsDefundPolice as well as community members who gathered together, honour the lives lost and to demand a divestment from policing, keep open warming centers 24/7, adequate shelter space & increased social housing NOW!
🧵 Tomorrow, Toronto City Council will vote on whether to increase access to warming centres this winter.
CAMH physicians and healthcare providers across the city have written a letter urging @JohnTory and all City Councillors to vote in favour of this move.
Here’s why.
(1/7)
Heathcare workers and advocates call on Toronto’s City Council to have warming centres to open at zero degrees, to be open longer with way more spaces that are easily accessible, and clear communication about what is available. Right now they open at -15.
