@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.

"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…

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."

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.
