MONDAY @ 11am

The Anti-Poverty Committee has launched our anti-Liberal housing campaign with a bang!

A march of over a hundred protesters made our way to an empty building on the corner of Hastings and Gore that is owned by the BC Liberals. Our intention was to force our way into the building but the police response was too brutal. Protesters then erected large structures on the sidewalk and surrounded them by linking arms.

The police reacted with brutal force, arresting at least 10 and violently tearing down the shelters. After an hour of confrontation the police finally retreated. We then fell back to our office to organise for the next strike.

Which brings us to tomorrow, Monday December 11th. We are calling on people to join us in a non-violent action that will leave from our office at 327 Carrall at 11pm.

We believe the Liberals must be forced to provide housing. Our campaigns will escalate in disruption to further this political crisis. Only the power of the people will create housing and we intend to win!
