@VANDUpeople My daughter has been unhoused here in Victoria for 10 yrs. On the @BCHousing187551 list for over 5 yrs. She has been told she is too resilient....what the F*&C does that mean? The Bylaw and Cops here in Victoria are pushing ppl into the shadows, more are dying. @stopsweepsvan

Our hearts are heavy for Cornelius Taylor and all the loved ones we've lost to sweeps.

A month ago, we sent a letter to @CityofVancouver demanding immediate action to protect inadequately housed residents from the effects of the Climate Crisis. As LA burns, they have yet to respond.

As we close out 2024, let’s remember the power we have to show up for others. Funds will be used for Murray to lay his wife to rest and for food & other necessities. He is grieving alongside many relatives, all while not having a home. Every share helps!

Let’s rally some support for the family of 71 year old residential school survivor Juanita Hill of the Shuswap nation. She lost her battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis last week, just days after being displaced due to an arson fire on Christmas:

And @cityofvictoriabylaw and @vicpdcanada !!! A person found dead on Douglas today...how many more will die from not having any resources around them. @leslie_mcbain @msth_bc ? The amount of blue fences around town, in parks, on Pandora. Where will the ppl go? @stopsweepsvan

[ProPublica @propublica]

Over and over, people told ProPublica that having possessions taken from them in “sweeps” of homeless encampments traumatizes them, exacerbates health issues and undermines efforts to find housing and get or keep a job.

I am concerned by #Vancouver @ParksBoard's plan to evict residents of #CRABPark on November 7, 2024. I urge them to rescind this decision and to put in policies and practices that respect and protect the human rights of people experiencing homelessness. (1/5)
