Town hall: Murder By Policy, from outrage to action on homelessness
Monday, October 20
6:30-8 p.m.
487 Alexander Street
Join us for a town hall that seeks to confront and centre the question of who is seen, who counts, and whose humanity is recognized.
Discussions facilitated by Leilani Farha, former UN Rapporteur on Homelessness:
Community experiences in DTES
Raising visibility of unhoused and centring them in decision-making
Carnegie Housing Project action lunch meetings
Fridays, 12-1:30pm
Carnegie Community Centre, Classroom II on the Third Floor!
401 Main St.
This weekly meeting is for residents and allies of the DTES who are driven to fight for a compassionate, community-centred approach to ending houselessness in the DTES.
We talk about and plan actions to educate and agitate for changes in the housing system that prioritize good housing for those who are economically excluded in society. We also identify emerging government policies that may interfere with that goal.
Lunch is included!
