Your city government should fight for your right to live in dignity and security. Tell ABC and Ken Sim to stand with the majority of Vancouver and Bring Back the Renter Office. @ptfry.bsky.social @seanorr.bsky.social @copevancouver.bsky.social win.newmode.net/onecityvanco...

Food cooperatives can create significant savings and empower communities to have more democratic control over their food systems. Instead of profits concentrating in the hands of a distant and wealthy minority, they are reinvested to make food products more affordable for the majority.

Children ready to un-alive themselves because of how desperate the situation is due to the blocking of aid for 11 weeks. Shame on mainstream media and our country's leadership for not speaking about this and demanding a ceasefire. Commenting & liking for better reach.

International journalists can’t enter Gaza. But healthcare workers can. That makes their testimony vital. They can cut through to the reality of the atrocities Israel is committing in Gaza. In today’s video, you’ll hear their firsthand accounts of witnessing a genocide:

@mark-carney.bsky.social Electoral reform is urgent if we want to move closer to a more secure and just country and not towards a dysfunctional two-party system like our neighbours to the south.

We need to improve the system so we’re not forced to vote “strategically” anymore. Let us vote with our values! @mark-carney.bsky.social, will you champion a system where every vote truly counts?

A recent US survey found that a majority of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents support the concept of employee ownership and would prefer working for a firm owned by employees. It’s time to build the policies to make it possible.

Great to see cuts to City’s grant for school meal programs reversed by unanimous vote. Now bring back Renters Office, restore library hours, end the supportive housing ban, become a Living Wage employer again, and invest in desperately-needed social infrastructure. #vanpoli

Affordable housing is one of Canada’s most critical needs. Lack of affordable housing drives up healthcare costs, worsens mental health, fuels crime, and makes communities less safe. It’s hurting everyday Canadians. Housing isn’t just a social issue—it’s a public health and safety crisis.

and I want to point out that Amanda Nguyen, also on today’s flight, was a Harvard astrophysics student and NASA intern training to be an astronaut before a rape upended her life and turned her into an activist so effective, she was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. she is also an actual astronaut.

Everyone's talking about Katy Perry when we should be talking about Amanda Nguyễn who finally achieved her dream after putting her space career on hold to fight for sexual assault survivors. The first Vietnamese woman in space, she carried an experiment to study women's health in space. #WomenInSTEM

Sure, I go to the library for books, but also sometimes I go just to exist in a space that's welcoming, organized, comfortable, judgement-free, and run by knowledgeable, helpful, passionate people, because that energy is straight up medicinal.

#Vancouver folks voting in the #vancouverbyelection: if you have trouble standing, consider bringing a lawn chair or walker with a seat. It’s excellent so many voters are coming out and standing shouldn’t be a barrier to exercising our right to vote!

Had a nice time talking to residents in South Cambie about @seanorr.bsky.social and @copevancouver.bsky.social today! Lots of people who are pissed off at how Ken Sim's been doing and want a new direction. Young, old, renters, homeowners—we all want a vibrant Vancouver, accessible to all.

Vancouver doesn’t have to be this way. High rents and homelessness are not inevitable. We can make housing affordable if we’re willing to fight for it. Check out our Fight for Housing platform: www.votecope.ca/fight-for-ho... #vanpoli #VanVotes2025
