This is the first of many builds at Trinity Square encampment. Please stay tuned for updates, calls for donations & ways to support. As always, DM us if you're interested in learning how you can join the team of allies supporting our Trinity Square Chapter.
Trinity Square encampment is up off the ground! A huge shout out to everyone who donated towards supplies, the crew of allies who came to help clean & build, and our driving crew who picked up materials across the city. Pics & more info 👇🏻
Encampment Office told Trinity residents they had to move tents & all belongings for powerwashing. No date given. We're looking for $$ donations to buy supplies for skid platforms to keep tents off the ground this rainy season. Please send e-transfers to [email protected]
Back in Windsor just in time to witness police intimidation & propaganda here too. 8 cruisers a wellness check cuffed one senior who could barely walk out his apartment. Overheard a cop say "we're here to make sure you're ok". #CopsCauseHarm
Voices is at @CUPEOntario Social Services Workers Conference, talking bout how to bring poor & unhoused people (who are clients of CUPE members at agencies) into organizing conversations. We have a critical lens that can strengthen bargaining & build even MORE collective power

A poor people’s revolution means moving away from oppressive wage labour & private property relations of settler-colonial capitalism & the carceral institutions on which these systems depend, & towards a society that prioritizes redistribution & sustainability: care, not profit.

But we also handed out hundreds of meals & items of winter gear. We strengthened Trinity encampment. We recruited new members & built new alliances. This fight is far from over but we are growing more ready to continue disrupting power until there are No Homeless Evictions!
Thank you to everyone who joined us at Love the Way You Lie! The last few days have brought us into a new chapter for anti-poverty organizers in Toronto. Here's our takeaways on the police, the City budget & unhoused organizing. A 🧵
If you want a housing system that is responsive to and meets the needs of homeless people read this letter and consider adding your signature to it. Let's get it right in Toronto - Canada's largest city - as an example for the country.

Voices member James was evicted from his room again after being triggered from being refused breakfast. James lives with mental & physical disabilities. He last told us he was being taken by police to 51 Division. Stay tuned for further updates.
James was evicted from the Delta last night & told to come talk to a supervisor today. He's been in the cold while @Homes_First gives the runaround. No paperwork, no appeals, no access to his winter coat. We've called @cityoftoronto to demand James has his rights upheld! #TOpoli

But we also handed out hundreds of meals & items of winter gear. We strengthened Trinity encampment. We recruited new members & built new alliances. This fight is far from over but we are growing more ready to continue disrupting power until there are No Homeless Evictions!

Cops cause harm. Poor, underhoused & unhoused folks experience this on the daily. Won't elaborate too much since we already made a thread about it here 👇🏻. Yet the new so-called progressive Council had backroom meetings so cops get more while we stay poor x.com/shelterhotelst…
In 2 years we've seen the only role the police have: to punish those who have been denied a livelihood: social assistance, housing crisis, high cost. We stand against all carceral systems that police & punish the poor. Shelters, TCHC, rental housing & the City itself. A🧵 /1
