As censorship online continues to grow, trans SWers are being further isolated.

Jack Parker's article for tryst.lin talks about the history of trans SW organizing, censorship of online spaces, and why they continue to be important for trans SWers safety: tryst.link/blog/losing-on…

The ⁦City of Vancouver ⁦Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation⁩ continues its war on the poor…

On this day five years ago, Trump signed a purported anti-trafficking law, SESTA/FOSTA. Almost everyone in Congress who voted for it looked away and forgot. Sex workers have not let them. newrepublic.com/article/162823…

Congratulating yourselves for stricter bylaws that stigmatize communities but will never win in court is nothing to be thrilled about. We will keep fighting against punitive & inhumane actions elected officials brag about but solve nothing.

Claudette was a beloved community member who was a part of PACE for many years. She will be greatly missed by the PACE staff and community.❤️

Please assist her family in raising funds for funeral costs and support that is needed following her passing: gofundme.com/f/every-penny-…

CRAB Update: A resident is being told he has no spot in the designated area despite living in the park for a year.

Last's night's chilling vote by the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation to pass the by-law amendments is playing out in real time, despite recommendations from Office of the Federal Housing Advocate BCAFN

URGENT: Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation is proposing draconian amendments to the already violent shelter-in-place by-law for vote TOMORROW.

Why do so many images in news stories about sex work feature fishnets, stilettos and sad girls? SWAN scanned dozens of reports on sex work and found images that are stereotypical and dehumanizing and put workers’ safety and privacy at risk. swanvancouver.ca/resource/a-wor…

New signage at CRAB Park confirms unhoused people who were not previously living in CRAB Park will not be allowed to stay in the tent city & have their shelter up in the daytime.

Instead, they'll be forced to stay outside it & subjected to daily sweeps by park rangers & VPD

CRAB Park Support Call-Out

Displacement of CRAB park residents being done by the city and VPD is happening, and there is a need for support for residents who's belongings are being trashed and stolen from them.

Donate funds here: gofundme.com/f/help-crab-pa…

#StopTheSweeps

It's alarming that media, activists, and lawyers aren't allowed in. Transparency is essential to ensuring rights are upheld

CRAB PARK DECAMPMENT UPDATE THREAD:

Residents who were not home when fences were put up to cutoff the tent city are not being allowed in to collect their belongings. This is a tactic to destabilize people's lives and displacement (again, this is not about cleaning).
