I ws in Downtown T.O. today & saw a new encampment. @JohnTory if you take down tents & encampments without providing #housingorhotels you’re just shuffling them around the City & spreading COVID-19 @ the same time. People in need of shelter have nowhere to go.

.@JILLSLASTWORD thank you for being a social justice warrior & showing up time & time again to fight the good fight with us & for being there when it mattered most- when the cameras & microphones weren't present.
Dr. Jill Andrew, PhD (she/her)@JILLSLASTWORD

.@RafiInterfaith what an outstanding individual! Being a part of recognizing Rafi was one of my highest honours when I served as MPP. Rafi's commitment to the most disenfranchised is a lesson in humanity we can all follow (blessings to you too Cathy for your heartful leadership!)

This compassionate community initiative fights food insecurity by providing hot meals at Saint Luke's & through its outreach efforts to encampments & the clients of 3 OPSs/CTSs. This Out of the Cold operates 2x wk, 12 months a yr bc being unhoused & hungry isn't seasonal.

These numbers are in millions. Millions of dollars that will criminalize the victims of failed housing policies, millions of dollars that will cause enormous suffering & ensure 3 to 5 unhoused deaths a week in Toronto.

Didn't have to be a life & death situation for every1. Ppl had shelter outside- in tents & the City cleared them BEFORE EXPANDING CAPACITY, so these ppl r completely exposed to the elements. Certain of 1 thing John Francisco who heads the Encampment Office is indoors 2night.
Shelter and Housing Justice Network@SHJNetwork

This Friday, Saturday & Sunday are going to be freezing cold. -24 with windchill on Sat. night. The warming centres are full. The city says it will open up an additional 240 spaces this week at the BLC. They must open it tomorrow. Hundreds are stuck outside.

@BravoDavenport you can save lives. The city has an extensive surveillance apparatus of those who are unhoused. City must have eyes on many community members forcibly evicted that we can't locate. If you can DM me locations we'll provide wellness checks, hot meals, food, clothing
Rafi Aaron@RafiInterfaith

Some of those ppl have disappeared. Encampment clearings are designed to remove unhoused people from public view, not to house them, & force ppl into remote locations where they're unseen & cut off from supports & vulnerable. The how the city gets its 3 to 5 unhoused deaths a wk
