ALT 1 of 6 text slides. Red text on a grey background which reads: "A Message from Stephanie Allen Today, for the good of all people living in Vancouver, we have decided as a team to withdraw my candidacy for Mayor of Vancouver. This decision isn't about me or about COPE. It's about the people of Vancouver. And the people need us to defeat this right-wing government and reduce the harm being done by the sociopathic system we’re up against. So while I am announcing the end of my campaign for Mayor, I am also recommitting to our common fight for Vancouver. Ken Sim and ABC must be evicted on October 17th. That's why I am strongly encouraging the other mayoral candidates in the race to also do the right thing, show integrity, and narrow the mayoral field to the person best positioned to evict Ken Sim." The COPE logo is at the bottom.

ALT 2 of 6. Red text on a grey background which reads: "It has been the privilege of a lifetime to stand as the mayoral candidate for COPE, a party with the deepest history of fighting the power of the super rich and showing up for the poor and working class people in our city. We at COPE have the love to care about the struggles that families, seniors, youth, working people and ALL those who have been pushed to the margins are going through, and we can see how much worse it’s getting for everyone. We will not put our egos ahead of doing the right thing for Vancouver. We know that it is mission critical to have one mayor on the progressive side and that it has to be the person best positioned at this critical hour, to win the election. We need a majority progressive Council, School Board, and Park Board to undo the damage done by this bad mayor and the bad mayors that came before him."
