@ryansudds This is not okay. We were on site witnessing and advocating for unhoused folks belongings and human rights. This use of force is unacceptable. The amount of stress for community members is unacceptable. Everything about this is unacceptable.

"When there are no more shelter beds and items like tents and sleeping bags are taken and trashed, how does the city expect people to survive?" Staff @BurrowsAmanda and @kkoncan1 question the city's priorities regarding decampment theprovince.com/opinion/op-ed/…

Another mass eviction in Vancouver today, just in time for a below-freezing cold snap. Enviro Canada has issued their Yellow Weather Notification & VCH has called to "prepare community-level interventions for cold weather" Ken Sim & VPD clearly got the memo (they are sadists)

"People are being told to go to the parks, or just go somewhere else,” she said. “If you tell people to go somewhere else, they are going to go somewhere else where they don’t have services, where they are more at risk of dying.” #vanpoli vancouversun.com/news/local-new…

Encampments are here to stay and growing across North American. Criminalizing homelessness by enforcing bylaws to clear them is clearly not working. We need more housing but housing that is actually affordable. Housing is a human right and not a commodity. Period.

Jonny lived in a tent on Hastings until last year's decampment. Packing his tent today in Oppenheimer Park, he told me “It’s like a circle” Asked where he'd go next, he raised his hands to say it's impossible to know “I dunno. Every day is different, bro.” vancouversun.com/news/local-new…

As a cold snap approaches this is inexcusable. These are essential, life-saving items.

This morning: Vancouver park rangers, with the assistance of police officers, removing people’s tents and belongings from Oppenheimer Park, where some homeless residents have been living for months. Story to come.

Stop the sweeps at Oppenheimer. People need these belongings to stay warm, dry, and alive right now

Stop the Sweeps Vancouver@stopsweepsvan

Decampment continues. Tents, sleeping bags, belongings - all stolen, on stolen land.

Our friend packed down his tent. He was complying with the bylaw. And then they stole all his belongings. To repeat: he was COMPLYING WITH THE BYLAW.

Other speakers included @VANDUpeople’s @vince__tao, @garthmullins & Dean Wilson. Dean, famous for fighting for N. America’s first OPS @InsiteVan asked, “Have we learned nothing?!” Insite, now lauded by political elites, also began as an illegal endeavour to save drug user lives.

“"Groups like DULF have done exactly what the coroner's death review panel report requested," Ranger said. "They assumed the biggest burden, and the biggest risk, to keep their communities safe, and to keep them alive."

There are concerns a push from Vancouver City Council to ensure respectful dialogue from non-profit organizations seeking city grants could go too far. vancouver.citynews.ca/2023/03/29/van…

Listen to Montague question the concept of decolonization, asking about background checks for non-profit members, and "how acquirethey their clientele". You can see the direction they were going with this: youtube.com/live/D3TBrWAm7…

Yarrow will continue to support and organize alongside low-income seniors and youth in Chinatown / the DTES. We will continue to celebrate our community and struggle for drug user liberation. Our movements and organizations were not created by the generosity of council.
