"We should be vaccinating in the factories. We should be reallocating vaccines to the hot zone regions where people are getting sick. Paid sick just has to happen." (Almost all of the patients in his ICU are essential workers. Average age: 53)

Are you concerned about the city's plan to evict encampments on April 6th? Here is an amazing tool kit from ESN to help you raise your voice and support our neighbours in the parks.

vaccinate essential workers NOW

A curfew should be the last thing they’re eyeing. They should try expanding TTC so ppl aren’t shoved in like sardines, have a robust proper response to the outbreaks in shelters, prisons, congregate settings, workplaces. Vaccine rollout 24/7. It’s not all on us. Govt effed it up
