I've been to three pharmacies in New West today and all of them are out of naloxone. none at Walmart, none at Shoppers, none at London Drugs. idk, seems like a problem, especially given, you know, langleyadvancetimes.com/news/fraser-he…

Can you imagine having nowhere to sit, nowhere to go to the bathroom, and nowhere you’re welcome, all day long? That’s the reality for the unhoused. We need spaces designed with dignity and communities that treat people with respect once they’re there. And more housing.

Thank you to Amanda Jane Burrows (she/her) and First United -

Update: Motion passed unanimously. HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT.

Today we spoke at Council in favour of Lucy Maloney's motion to reinstate the Tenant Advocacy Office. While the motion didn't pass, we are not discouraged. We will continue to speak truth to power and defend tenants rights and access to services, and pursue justice. #vanpoli

My awesome colleague Katie Bricknell Koncan repping us & telling it like it is. The motion didn’t pass because of a tie but that's not failure, that’s fuel to keep fighting. And politics being politics. Thanks Lucy Maloney and the councillors who supported renters today❤️

Today is #Juneteenth, a holiday that marks the end of slavery in the US. Many Black Canadians still celebrate because of the significance it holds. Let's celebrate the resilience of Black communities and continue to fight against anti-Black racism and systemic inequality.
