I'm so pleased to see #ubcm2025 support calling on the Province to declare housing as a human rights in BC! Next step: making this commitment real. Local governments, I urge you to read our guidance on how to respect the rights of encampment residents: bchumanrights.ca/wp-content/…
We're in Victoria this week for #UBCM2025 to support local elected officials in passing a resolution about housing as a human right!
Have you called on your local leaders to support NR 17 this week? 🏡 – at Victoria, British Columbia
It's time for BC to recognize housing as a human right.
Later this month, municipal delegates from across the province will vote on Resolution NR 17 at UBCM to affirm housing as a human right in BC.
Write to your City Council about the value of treating housing as a human right in BC:

[RELEASE] Nine City Councils are calling on the BC gov't to recognize housing as a human right.
Housing is recognized as a human right at the federal level in Canada.
It's time our provincial government steps up to make the same commitment, in policy and practice.

We’re disappointed there’s once again no increase for assistance or disability rates in #BCBudget2025.
Without at least indexing rates to inflation, the most economically vulnerable people in our province will not be able to meet their needs.

When MLAs swing by the office, we make sure to get a word in!
We presented @s_malcolmson @terryyungyvr @NdpJoan a stack of postcards signed by people in BC, calling for serious investment in public transit.
We want to see cross-ministry collab for the good of BC. #bcpoli – at Vancouver, British Columbia
