SDC recognizes #TDoR2024 as an opportunity for learning+solidarity. Today, we commit to deepening our understanding about the meaning and origins of this day and why it continues to be a poignant reminder of the disproportionate risks faced by trans people and their communities.

On #NationalHousingDay, meet Ontario's municipal human rights defenders. A coalition of now 72 Councillors stand against the use of the Notwithstanding Clause to clear encampments and call on Ontario to respect the Charter and enact evidence-based solutions to homelessness.

So many special opportunities next week! Don't miss this one either! Limited to 100 people. Free! All welcome. Please do share with your networks.

Anyone who would like to follow which Councillors have publicly signed the letter (which will remain open) can do so via this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Kudos to all who have stepped up to challenge an openly hostile and extremely harmful PC provincial government.

Every Mayor who requested the use of the Notwithstanding Clause to violate homeless people's Charter rights did it for a pittance. None of this will provide the resources needed across Ontario — it wouldn't even provide the needed resources for a mid-sized municipality.
