Honoring women and relatives is prevention. How do you honor Indigenous women? How do you honor Two-Spirit relatives? How do you honor MMIWR? Tell us in the comments and use the hashtag #HonorMMIWR in your posts. ❤️ ☁️ 💜 ☁️ #MMIWR #NoMoreStolenSisters #NoMoreStolenRelatives
PADS strongly condemns this misuse of public funds @CommunityNotCop
HRM continues to repeat the provincial lie that adequate spaces are available in shelters. It’s a complete lie. There are no alternatives. People are being evicted from Victoria Park and Parade Square and they will end up at another encampment that is overflowing! It’s criminal!
Last night we supported two folks who were homeless for their first time ever. There were no shelter beds available & they had no supports. This morning, we found one of them laying on the ground, hypothermic while they waited with police for EHS to arrive. They could have died.
In 3 weeks community has raised $3K! We need to materially and emotionally support and care for each other especially at the times when the state is openly trying to suppress our communities. We need to support each other when we stand up for the wellbeing of our communities.
@thekeenanwire A precedent-setting Ontario Superior Court of Justice decision determined that it can be unconstitutional for municipalities to clear homeless encampments from public property. #Halifax #HRM @MutualAidHfx @902MarkC @WayeMason @zwoodford thestar.com/opinion/star-c…
Some expanded capacity Fri-Sun. More than we’ve seen so far this winter. Still though, if you’ve been outside, if you’ve checked your weather app, it’s Wednesday and it’s cold right now. Shelters are likely full until Friday at 5pm.

Life threatening temps are arriving this weekend. Imagine living outside in temps like this? -42 with the windchill over night Friday. These kinds of temps can cause serious physical harm or death to folks surviving outside.
"Speaking for The Coast, we have decided that power needs to be held to account. The Coast will be suing the city because it broke the law, and we all deserve leaders who actually do their jobs. Even if they only do so when legally compelled." Wow! thecoast.ca/halifax/the-ha…

Any talk about housing subsidies is talk about landlord subsidies. This does not help folks who need it most and the prov knows that. It's their choice to not make change.

Massive storm coming Fri/Sat. Hopefully the warming centre will be open, and hopefully people get some advance notice. If @nsgov and @hfxgov would acknowledge that winter comes every year, desperately struggling people wouldn’t have to guess.

@chronicleherald And restaurant owners wonder why they can’t hire people. Who would want to work in this industry when this is how you treat your employees.

This map will have been a success when 30 people break in to the Bloomfield Center or one of the more recently closed public buildings that the city is letting rot for developers to pick up, turn on the lights & running water at the city mains, & start to live there, rent free.
People are like "@vacantmap is such a success, congrats," but, no. Nobody has squatted one of these empty buildings, and hundreds of people are still sleeping outside in the dead of winter. A guy died in a parking garage a few weeks ago. No, the map is not a success. It's tragic!

We want to express our deep gratitude for the generous donations of money & supplies that we have received from the community in anticipation of this bitter cold weather. It has supported us in offering warm, indoor spaces to folks, providing hot food, as well as essential gear.
With frigid weather sweeping across the country please reach out if you are, or know a Veteran facing these temperatures without adequate housing. VETS Canada can help!! CALL 1-888-228-3871 ext. 179

TODAY: We’ve opened a pop up 12 hour warming centre in Bridgewater. 8:00 am - 8:00 pm 136 Pleasant Street Please RT 🥶 ❄️ #shrmBridgewater
Subway tonight: many, many men who had nowhere else to go. Many arguing with invisible friends or enemies. Carrying around their belongings. Not a single support worker in site to help get them into a warm room. The solutions are easy. It's the will that is hard.
Great to see @OntHumanRights join the call for warming centres. Still feel like we could be setting our sights a little higher than keeping people from freezing to death...
Raises power rates. Can't keep the power on during the coldest Temps we've had in years. Fuck NS power

We agree, the weather is scary. What’s even scarier is a province with a massive lack in adequate housing and no plan to rectify it, leaving people to live outside at all. There’s a human rights meltdown occurring due to the housing crisis. That should be the real focal point.
We cannot stress enough how deeply grateful we are for the support & attention going into supporting folks sleeping rough through this extreme and potentially deadly cold weather. But this feels a lot like the month of Dec and Christmas. 1/1
