Help Me Understand the Heart of our Downtown Eastside (DTES) community in Vancouver

Beauty is only skin deep “they say”… in the civilized world

In the “uncivilized world” look a little deeper,

Than what meets the eye…

There is more unity in this community,

Than you may think!

Help me understand…

Women are the most vulnerable,

It is important that we remember…

Never thought I would feel this way,

I committed crimes when I needed.

Tired of being hungry and poor…

84 dollars please!

Now I run!

Hunger Strike,

Day 14?

Heart of the City: Share, Hope, Respect, Home!

Everyday is a gift

Live in the DTES,

Understand the DTES!

    In conjunction with the DTES Hunger Strike.

    DTES Hunger Strike is about gentrification and the lack of concern by authorities: the City of Vancouver, developers, The Vancouver Police, and the general public. (as well as lying/disinforming mainstream media)

    The artist formerly known as “Homeless Dave” began a hunger strike on March 22/2013.

    The demands:
    1. 100% social community directed social housing at the 138 Sequel location, with a healing and wellness center. (the old pantages theatre site)

    2. 100% social housing at the old cop shop on Main St. with a community directed space focused on indigenous women in regards to the horrific damage done to indigenous people by Vancouver police for a very long time at that site.

    3. The City of Vancouver declare the downtown eastside a social justice zone and along with the community develop policies to make that happen.

Defend the DTES Oppenheimer District and MAKE THE DTES A SOCIAL JUSTICE ZONE in Vancouver

January 12, 2013 Leave a comment

Downtown Eastside community town hall

Defend the DTES Oppenheimer District and
MAKE THE DTES A SOCIAL JUSTICE ZONE

Friday January 11
2pm
Oppenheimer Park Field House
*Tea and light snack available*

For the last year members of the DTES low-income community have been involved in a city planning process to chart out a future for the Downtown Eastside. Meanwhile condos, high-end boutiques and architecture and other studios have been encroaching on the DTES Oppenheimer District – the heart of the low-income communities.

Come to this meeting to learn about the Oppenheimer district (which you may live in and not even know it), to strategize how to fight to defend this neighbourhood as a predominately and majority low-income community, and to vision what a Social Justice Zone might look like in the city of Vancouver.

Organized by members of the City’s Local Area Planning Process Committee
