“All the best solutions for helping people have come from the street” Woodward’s, VANDU, WAHRS. People are in danger, we need people to get on board. R2R and the @dtes_collab have a good plan in place to create a real safety net. We’re talking about buildings, but also lives.

Since 2016, SRO tenants, organizers, academics, and students have worked together under the R2R banner to improve SRO conditions. This week, we’re off to Victoria to share our experiences of the fight for housing justice in the DTES, and what’s next. ow.ly/nuMW50J4Ct7

Show your support for the residents of CRAB Park! Demand that the Park Board withdraw its request for an injunction. People have the right to decide what safe, and suitable housing is for themselves! #Vancouver #vanpoli #homelessness
