October 10 is #WorldHomelessDay. Homelessness is a human rights failure. A failure to provide adequate housing and supports for people who need it. A failure to prioritize resources for those most in need. Everyone in Canada has a #Right2Housing - we can do better. –MJ

August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day. In B.C., over 10,000 people have died from from the toxic drug supply since 2016. Today, we remember without stigma those who have died and acknowledge the grief of families and friends left behind. #EndOverdose

@CBCIndigenous @APTNtv @CBCVancouver @BreenOuellette @vince__tao @GlobalBC This is my cousin Chris. Vancouver Police shot and killed him yesterday. He was unarmed and screaming for help after being bear maced. Did these officers sleep better than we did? He was my FAMILY. 💔😭

Aero, OUR STREETS organizer, speaking to CBC about yesterday's @VancouverPD killing of an unarmed man outside VANDU: "We are not third class citizens. We are human beings. If feels like the cops just protect the rich and the powerful."

One man is dead after a confrontation with police in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. As Joel Ballard tells us, community members are concerned police involved violence in the area is becoming increasingly common.

JOINT STATEMENT @FreeOfViolence, @EndingViolence, @DEWCVancouver & @WISHvancouver
We will not let the fight some are trying to manufacture overshadow women's safety. Women are being threatened, harassed, beaten, and raped. This is our focus. Women must have appropriate, safe, independent and where requested, supportive housing. We call on our officials, yet again, to implement a structured, concerted, anti-sexist, trauma-informed response, not just to the encampments, but to women’s long-term safety, which must include housing.

"Indigenous women are either grossly or significantly overrepresented in arrest statistics in most jurisdictions examined in B.C. In many cases their arrest rate exceeds that of white men" End systemic racist systems now.
