PARTY AGAINST DISPLACEMENT: June 27, 5 PM, Super InTent City
https://www.facebook.com/events/152829005131039
Super InTent City has survived for 8 months and accomplished
so much in that time, including saving lives, building community, asserting
homeless people's political power, and getting a commitment for 178 units of
long-term housing towards the crisis of 1400 people living outside or in
emergency shelters.
On June 27-28 Super InTent CityZens are once again going to
court to fight the BC government's attempt to displace the camp. Show some love
by coming to... the camp to celebrate Super InTent CityZens' resilience and all
their accomplishments, and to provide support after a long day in court.

we will do our best to arrange pickup of pre-made food from your place on the
day of the event. If you can come feel free to bring art supplies too, to make
posters and placards showing love for the camp! Or if you live far away or
won't be in town, you can email a support message to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we'll
print it and bring it to the camp.
***This event is being held on the traditional and
current territories of the Lekwungen people. Dispossession and displacement go
hand in hand. Disproportionately high numbers of Indigenous people are
homeless, as a result of colonialism.***

the #3, 11, 14, 15, and 22 bus stop on Fort Street, and 4-5 blocks from buses
