Had the honor and privilege of speaking to a large group of medical residents today.. their feedback reminded me of what my purpose is.. thank you @HAMSMArTeam for allowing me the chance to both trust in Healthcare and in the same moment challenge it.

This is horrible. See HESN tweet for how to contribute. You can also etransfer donations to giving@keepingsix.org indicate it's for JC Beemer residents & we will ensure that 100% of your donation goes directly to whatever they need. People need safe permanent housing now. #HamOnt

Early in the morning, JC Beamer residents were woken up by a large fire that destroyed most of their possessions and tents. The cause of the fire is still being investigated by Hamilton Fire Department, but residents tell us they don’t know how the fire was started.

We support @TheAIDSNetwork and their proposed CTS application.
This location in Ward 3 will provide space for lifesaving overdose response, clinical services, peer programming, and other valuable community services.
Please show your support

Shame indeed on the city and everyone who helped support their case. We are at a moment in herstory where we all have the responsibility to look inwards and decide who we are and what we stand for. People make systems of oppression, and people can change them, too. Solidarity 💕

ATTN #Hamont:
We have received calls requesting clarification of the Order the homeless Applicants are seeking in the injunction. We wish to clarify that they are not seeking a complete prohibition of the enforcement of the bylaw that evicts encampment residents.

We are back in court today fighting for an interlocutory injunction to stop the eviction of encampment residents with no where to go! Stop the displacement. Stop fighting the homeless and fight the roots of homelessness #HousingCrisis @OHomelessness @Make_TheShift

A lot happening in #HamOnt today but want to acknowledge the important step that was taken by @TheAIDSNetwork at today's Board of Health meeting to get Council's support for an application to open a second Consumption and Treatment Site (CTS) in Ward 3. 💛
