Last night an interview about with Amber about Discontent City Nanaimo was broadcast on CHECK news & today a middle-aged, well-dressed white man spat in her face from his SUV and screamed, "You're a fat bitch! Put the junkies in your own yard!"

Heartbreaking and powerful interview with Brandon, a resident of Discontent City, that explains why homeless people need tent cities video.fyvr3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t42.9040-2/1…

I stand with you Red Braid Alliance for Decolonial Socialism I'm calling the city now LEAVE DWAYNE ALONE!!

ANYONE with a phone CALL Maple Ridge RCMP RIGHT NOW and DEMAND the Rlease of Listen, Cecille and Isabelle!! then tell them to LEAVE DWAYNE ALONE!! Red Braid Alliance for Decolonial Socialism

DEESCELATION!! Not send in an army for 1 man.. 1 very reasonable respectful and lovely man.. WHY!?!?

Lenee outlining our demands: 1) immediate release of Dwayne Martin and 5 supporters 2) immediate de-escalation at Anita Place and removal of exclusion zone 3) start real negotiations with residents at Anita Place 4) BC Housing purchase apts across from AP 4 residents run housing

RCMP inappropriately sought “exclusion zone”, without notice to residents’ lawyers. Justice Grauer refused to grant it. The City of #MapleRidge and the #RCMP went ahead and did it anyways contrary to a Supreme Court Judge’s orders. #DefendAnitaPlace #AnitaPlace

If you're near Maple Ridge please go #DefendAnitaPlace We are all an injury, illness, mental breakdown away from having to be in a camp ourselves.. yet the government BC NDP won't allow us to even do that to survive.. WHERE SHOULD WE GO???? WHY DO WE HAVE TO DIE ALONE!?!?!

The Province of BC should be absolutely ashamed!! #MapleRidge doesn't want homeless people or supportive housing.. #Nanaimo is the same.. #Abbotsford ditto Why do the BC NDP want homeless people to die cold and alone? #HOUSINGNOWNOTCOPS #Homesnotprisoncamps #homesnotjails #HOME

Dwayne, Anita Place leader, speaks to myths about the fires and “crime”: Nobody wants to be homeless and everyone out here today, including the ridgelantes, are a few pay cheques away from being homeless. I am fighting to stay in a home with rats - this is a crisis of the system.

Under threat of arrest, OPS activists made a closing declaration, challenging Fraser Health to identify property for a temporary OPS until the goverment opens a permanent one: “If Fraser Health doesn’t respond by Monday June 10th, we’ll take action again." thevolcano.org/2019/06/08/bc-…

1/2 #WereNotLeaving. As Canada prepares to violently invade our lands, we have no fear. We are peacefully living on our lands and upholding our laws, as we always have. These lands will always be #Unistoten Support: unistoten.camp

Sweet! #MUSICHEALS #CoachellaDoc #stayhomenotsobad #StayAwareStaySafe #lovetoall

THREAD: All this talk about emergency housing for homeless, but we've seen in #yyj how housing can make things worse. Reflecting on the collective demands for housing from SIC tent city (2018) in the era of #COVID19 Quality of housing matters! More at Intentcity.ca

5. We need processes of accountability for housing providers. We need a process for making independent complaints that will not impact our housing. No daily rule changes/arbitrary rules. No applying rules differently to different people.

We need to raise $12,000 by December 31st to have the financial confidence to renew our lease, pay rent in 2021, and keep the Whalley Centre open. We've already raised 40% of our fundraising goal, which is incredible – but we still have a ways to go. Please donate or share!

I've been sitting for the past 3 weeks no less than 7 hours wasted on hold with Canada Revenue Agency .. finally I get through to speak to agent and she puts me on hold and it hangs up... no they won't call me back of course ill spend more time wasting together the crb I'm eligible for

Especially in Nanaimo!
