Abuse from new owners of drug user space swearing kicking calling us junkies and drug addicts Chilliwack Progress @ChiefSerr chill

My friend called me from treatment to say "everyone here has been very supportive & I made it through the weekend. I can't remember a time where I've gone 4 days without using drugs." #ODAT

Across the street from chillies- we would love the support - the police show up and it was one officer who spoke Punjabi with them - their English was clear to us “get the fuck out you junkies” as they change locks Pivot Legal Society karen ward

[image in qrt is the lock at CUDU being changed by a neighbouring locksmith]

- let CUDU open their doors to members until their lease is up. - enter conversation with CUDU about the ways the landlord has discriminated against them, and potential compensation or new notice and a renewal of 30+ days to secure a new location.

Chilliwack drug users need this space to stay alive. when CUDU was closed for just one day Chilliwack had 13 overdoses, meanwhile CUDU has not had a single overdose. this space cannot be shut down like this—people WILL die.

if you live in Chilliwack or nearby and are able to physically support, please DM us! the situation is still developing but there may be physical need in coming days. if you're unable to physically support, please boost! tag reporters! people need to know and care about this.

if you're able to help CUDU and DFV write a joint public statement about what's happening and the ways drug users are violently removed and ignored into dying, please also DM us or email us @ DefundFraserValley @ protonmail . com

I don't know anything more than what is in this thread but I do know that whenever I've been in situations where someone with some power (landlord here) is abusing it, the best defence I've had is more eyes on what is happening. So please read & share this thread & follow.

We need space ..and landlords that understand and can empathize- “the only flaws are the drug laws” stop criminalizing abd demonizing people who use drugs
