Stop the Sweeps Vancouver

Opposing the City of Vancouver, VPD & Park Board in the daily displacement of unhoused people from public spaces (i.e. street sweeps). [email protected]
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
Rampant police violence is increasingly normalized against systemically marginalized communities in Snuneymuxw territories "Nanaimo": a report in response to an alert by the Nanaimo Area Network of Drug Users rb.gy/4uw9ru
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. rb.gy/o59weh
We are raising funds to replace the homes and life-saving belongings that @CityofVancouver and @ParkBoard will inevitably trash this winter. gofund.me/300fe150
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
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. projects.propublica.org/homeless-encam…

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)
