SUMMARY:2016 Welfare Food Challenge
DESCRIPTION:This is an invitation to join Raise the Rates’ Annual Welfare Food Challenge in October\, 2016. The previous 4 years of the Challenge were all a great success. The Challenge is for one week\, eating only what can be purchased with the money a welfare recipient receives. \nOver 600 people have so far taken the Challenge and this year\, 2016\, we aim to make it the biggest ever. Raise the Rates is working hard to make poverty an election issue in 2017. \nThe Challenge highlights the inadequacy of welfare rates in BC. A single person receives only $610 a month\, frozen for over 9 years. Raise the Rates\, with others\, is working to raise public awareness of the extreme poverty of people on welfare; and how this poverty costs the people of BC in human suffering and billions of wasted dollars every year. \nParticipants have come from across the province and included families\, school and university students\, elected representatives\, union leaders\, businesspeople\, workers and seniors\, as well as ‘celebrities’ such as Bif Naked. \nThe Challenge will start on World Food Day\, Sunday October 16\, 2016 and run for a full 7 days. Due to the rising cost of rent\, even for single room occupancy (SRO) in the Downtown Eastside participants will be expected to live on only the food they can purchase with $18 dollars (see <a href=”http://Why $18? for calculation). This calculation is based on the expectation that welfare recipients will have to pay rent and damage deposit\, cell phone (necessary to look for work and contact the welfare office) and personal hygiene. We have dropped buying bus tickets\, which is what many people on welfare often do\, so that there is some money left for food. They either walk or hope for the goodwill of bus drivers – which is usually the case\, but they do risk a $173 fine. Out of $610 there is very little money left for food. \nFor more information: https://welfarefoodchallenge.org/\nTo join the challenge: https://welfarefoodchallenge.org/join/ or bill50@vcn.bc.ca

SUMMARY:Black Space: A Night of Community Healing
DESCRIPTION:This event\, along with the majority of the organizing done by the Black Lives Matter Vancouver Coalition\, will be taking place on the traditional\, ancestral and unceded territory and homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm\, Skxwú7mesh\, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. We are very grateful to these people for the knowledge\, kindness and indomitable spirit with which they have taken care of this land for millennia. \n– – – – – – – \nEvery day\, the list of deaths seems to grow. Every week\, we find ourselves mourning another family member lost to us at the hands of murderers who are institutionally shielded from punishment. Our grief crosses borders. The loss of our parents\, siblings\, spouses\, relatives\, friends\, those we are intimately connected to though we may have never met them – is too much to bear alone. \nOn Wednesday\, October 12\, let us come together as a Black community to mourn those who have been taken too soon by this violent system\, to celebrate our Blackness and our resilience\, and to support one another. \nWe gather together to remember: \nKorryn Gaines\, Tiarah Poyau\, Skye Mockabee\, Abdirahman Abdi\, Jermaine Carby\, Tawon Boyd\, Terence Crutcher\, Keith Lamont Scott\, Alfred Olango… \n…and so many more\, because the list stretches back over 400 years and continues to go on. We gather together to say their names. Violence toward one of us is violence toward all of us. Every time one of us dies\, a piece of all of us dies. \n“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” – Assata Shakur \n– – – – – – – \nTIME: Wednesday\, October 12\, 6-8pm. \nLOCATION: Gallery Gachet\, 88 East Cordova St. \nSpeakers\, performers\, open mic and free dinner. \nWe invite folks from other parts of BC and the West Coast to attend our event and are able to provide accomodation! Please get in touch at blacklivesmattervan@gmail.com! \n* * * Black Lives Matter explicitly and wholeheartedly supports all members of the Black community and endeavours to lift up the voices of those living in the intersections of being Black and further marginalized such as Black women and femmes\, Black trans and queer folks\, Black folks living with disabilities and so on. Therefore\, our intention is to create a safe and welcoming space where homophobia\, transphobia\, sexism and other forms of violence\, lateral or otherwise\, will not be tolerated. \n* * * Please note that this healing space is reserved exclusively for Black folks. Although we will not refuse entrance or remove anyone\, please be respectful of this request\, and understand that for non-Black folks to attend is to disregard the sacred importance of holding Black space.

SUMMARY:Deeds\, Not Words - National Day of Action Victoria
DESCRIPTION:In response to a call-out from Indigenous People’s National Day of Action and Idle No More please come celebrate life\, water\, and show solidarity with Indigenous People who are standing strong to protect the land and water. This is a day to honour all those who are giving so much to protect life and to demand that colonial governments live up to their promises of Nation to Nation relationships and respecting the rights of Indigenous People. \nPlease join us to collectively shape this space together with art\, music\, words and connection. \n12pm – Speakers: TBA\n1pm – Collective emergent art project\, music\, and pop-up workshops! \n<<These events are taking place on Lekwungen territories. We recognize that this is stolen land and that even while violence and colonization against Indigenous peoples and lands continues\, so too does Indigenous resistance\, resilience and resurgence.>> \nBACKGROUND – NATIONAL CALL TO ACTION \nFrom http://www.idlenomore.ca/deed_not_words_call_to_action \nPromises of clean drinking water\, a basic human right. Promises of equal education funding for our children\, another basic human right. Promises of implementing the UNDRIP into Canadian Law\, which had many people doubtful would actually transpire. These are but a few of the so called renewed “Nation to Nation” campaign promises that had indigenous folks clamoring to the elections polls\, many for the first time ever. \nNow those same people are coming to the realization that it was but another trick in our long and deadly “Nation to Nation” relationship with Canada. Across our beautiful shared country\, mega-projects are getting a fast green lights despite very vocal and active opposition from a long list of indigenous communities. Reopening mines and granting permits on lands that have been devastated by tailings spills. Communities continue to be poisoned by water that is wastefully polluted in the name of industry and so called development. Even on the international level this gov’t has gone back on their commitments made to reduce emissions and pushes through dirty\, unsustainable energy at the #COP21. \nIt is quite clear to most of us at this point\, that as far as Indigenous Rights in this country is concerned\, is it business as usual under all of Harper’s destructive policies that never had respect for the First Peoples of this country. No free and prior informed consent (#FPIC) policies have been implemented\, nor will any be any time soon. Unaccessible consultations is still the trick used only under a new name with some new shiny faces. \nSo far the Trudeau gov’t has made a portfolio of photo ops of handshakes. And that is all that is happening for our people. Our communities won’t see any funding for years and in the meantime we will continue to be underfunded and under the current gov’ts thumb. \nWe demand that the Trudeau government to take credible and immediate action to: \n* Implement UNDRIP in Canadian law.\n* Clearly indicate it respects Indigenous Peoples’ right to say no to development on their land. (This means Free\, Prior\, and Informed Consent\, not manipulated sham consultations)\n* Stop the Site C dam\n* Close the funding deficit for First Nations now\n* Stop pipeline\, gas\, and oil megaprojects: build green energy\, transit\, and houses\n* Introduce a climate plan that respects the 1.5-2 degree temperature target that Canada helped negotiate in Paris. Adopting Harper’s emission reduction targets is a betrayal of that commitment.\n* Fully fund Indigenous-owned and controlled renewable energy projects. \nWe ask First Nations and allies on both sides of the medicine line\, on the land or in cities\, to respond to this call by undertaking action\, in accordance with their own capacities\, responsibilities\, and their protocols. This Thanksgiving\, Indigenous communities and supporters will be conducting actions\, holding ceremonies\, and gatherings across Canada to protect land and water and to demand the Trudeau government stop pretending\, and start acting like it respects our rights. It is high time for deeds\, not words. \nEndorsed by:\nAamjiwnaang and Sarnia Against Pipelines\nALBA Canada\nAlgonquins of Barriere Lake\nBorealAction -Treaty 6 Idle No More\nChippewas of the Thames\nEllen Gabriel\, Kanehsatake Mohawk\nEriel Tchekwie Deranger\, Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation\nFightC\nGreenpeace Canada\nIdle No More\nIdle No More Duluth\nIdle No More Duluth Wolf Action\nIdle No More Toronto\nIdle No More Ontario\nLeap Manifesto\nLong Beach Gathering\nNo One is Illegal – Toronto\nNo One is Illegal – Coast Salish Territories\nPamela Palmater\, Mi’kmaq Nation\nRed Nation – 2nd Annual Indigenous Peoples Day\nRising Tide Vancouver\, Coast Salish Territories\nSay “No” to Site C Dam\nSecwepemc’ulecw Grassroots Movement\nStop Alton Gas\n350.org\nUnist’ot’en – People of the Headwaters\nVancouver Island Community Forest Action Network\nWomens’ Committee of the Defenders of the Land network \nRelated links:\n* Events happening in various locations: https://www.facebook.com/events/1105033162898098\n* Original call-out: http://www.defendersoftheland.org/story/324 \nSIMULTANEOUS SOLIDARITY WITH STANDING ROCK \nOctober 8-11\, 2016 also marks four International Days of Prayer and Action with Standing Rock.

SUMMARY:Deeds\, Not Words - Indigenous Day Of Action\, Oct. 10
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous Day of Action October 10\nJustin Trudeau\, it is time for DEEDS\, NOT WORDS\, that respect Indigenous rights \n#DeedsNotWords \nFirst Nations in Canada are waking up to the reality that the Trudeau government has a big smiley face for a front man\, but when it comes to business\, nothing has changed. This government approved the Site C mega-Dam in Treaty 8 (BC Peace River region)\, against the objection of First Nations whose lands will be devastated by flooding\, destroying access to their food\, medicines\, and sacred sites. Just this week\, they approved the dangerous and climate-destroying Lelu Island Liquid Natural Gas plant against the wishes of local First Nations. Now under review in Alberta by a system that has never denied a tar sands mine is the Teck Frontier tar sands mine\, which would be the largest ever. The federal government\, which campaigned on implementing the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples\, has since informed chiefs from across Canada that adopting UNDRIP is unworkable. Now they have backtracked on their obligations under the Paris climate accords\, too. \nIt is already clear what needs to be done. Canada needs a leader with political integrity and courage to do it. We demand that the Trudeau government to take credible action to: \n● Implement UNDRIP in Canadian law.\n● Clearly indicate it respects Indigenous Peoples’ right to say no to development on their land. (This means Free\, Prior\, and Informed Consent\, not manipulated sham consultations).\n● Stop the Site C dam.\n● Close the funding deficit for First Nations now.\n● Stop pipeline\, gas\, and oil megaprojects: build green energy\, transit\, and houses.\n● Introduce a climate plan that respects the 1.5-2 degree temperature target that Canada helped negotiate in Paris. Adopting Harper’s emission reduction targets is a betrayal of that commitment.\n● Fully fund Indigenous-owned and controlled renewable energy projects. \nAccordingly\, this Thanksgiving\, Indigenous communities and supporters will be conducting actions\, holding ceremonies\, and gatherings across Canada to protect land and water and to demand the Trudeau government stop pretending\, and start acting like it respects our rights. It is high time for deeds\, not words. We ask First Nations and allies on both sides of the medicine line\, on the land or in cities\, to respond to this call by undertaking action\, in accordance with their own capacities\, responsibilities\, and their protocols. \nTo join us please email indigenousdayofaction@gmail.com. \nBackground\nOn matters of substance\, this government is pursuing the same assimilation agenda as previous governments. There has been no change to the disastrous comprehensive claims policy. 150 years of Canada trying to terminate and extinguish Indians has not worked. We are still here and we will still be here hundreds of years from now. Until Canada reckons with\, recognizes\, and respects Indigenous Peoples’ rights and title\, and make legitimate redress for past wrongs\, there will be no lasting peace. \nThis government has still not committed to a plan to undo the deliberate cultural genocide that targeted Indigenous languages and traditions. No serious commitment to Indigenous language revitalization has been put forth. The important recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples have been ignored. \nOptimists believed this government would deliver more money for programs and services. Yet the much vaunted spending announcements of this government will not kick in for years\, and will still leave First Nations gasping\, at poverty-level funding below funding for the average Canadian\, after decades of an arbitrary 2% funding cap that has scrimped First Nations into a $60 billion funding gap. The lack of clean water\, safe housing\, and adequate education\, coupled with abusive government and failure to redress the legacy of cultural genocide\, have produced a profound mental health and suicide epidemic in many communities. \nIn the face of government indifference or hostility\, Indigenous Peoples across Canada and the United States have had to protect their waters and lands from abusive development that violates their duties to protect the land: from hydro dams at Site C in British Columbia\, Keeyask in Manitoba\, and Muskrat Dam in Labrador\, Newfoundland\, to Mi’kmaq people and their allies in Stop Alton Gas protecting the waters of the Sipekne’katik district of the Mi’kmaq Nation; the Algonquins of Barriere Lake in their decades long struggle for their rights against government abuse\, now fighting a Copper One mine being developed on their territory without consent; Neskantaga First Nation\, trying to stop Noront’s Ring of Fire drilling on its land; and Indigenous peoples and allies fighting toxic\, reckless pipeline and oil development in places like Aamjiwnaang\, Kanehsatake\, Unist’ot’en\, Tsleil-Waututh\, Secwepemc territory\, and Standing Rock\, North Dakota. For legitimate defense of their rights\, many Indigenous land and water protectors are criminalized or targeted with legal harassment and intimidation by big corporations\, like Vanessa Gray of Aamjiwnaang\, currently facing expensive court proceedings. \nAs part of this day of action\, we call on Canada to take seriously its obligations under international law\, the Canadian constitution\, and the principles of justice\, and once and for all reconcile itself to our continued existence on this land as Indigenous Peoples. The government has ignored the excellent recommendations of Commission after Commission. Will it ignore the recommendations of the Murdered and Missing Women and Girl’s Inquiry too? Now is the time for Deeds\, not Words. \nWe will be adding local events on our website.

SUMMARY:Unit 3 Left Coast Tour: The Ethereal Turn Up! Vancouver Show
DESCRIPTION:Future Electronic duo lal is touring the West Coast and are trying to build on the QT/BIPOC and allied arts movement to make connections in Canada and over the border to create safer party\, healing and art spaces for all of us. We are uniting with local QT/BIPOC artists to form the UNIT 3 LEFT COAST TOUR! \nThe Math: rose + nic + community = 3! \nSupport independent talent and spread the word! \nwith guests\nKimmortal (Vancouver)\nwww.kimmortal.com | Kimmortal \nLee Reed (Hamilton)\nweb: http://www.leereedrevolt.com/\nmusic: https://leereed.bandcamp.com/\ntwitter: https://twitter.com/freeleereed\nfacebook: https://www.facebook.com/freeleereed \ndoor: FREE – PYWC $5-15 (donation only – NO ONE TURNED AWAY) \nmore info on artists:\nlal\nwww.lalforest.com\n“LAL is an intersection between idea\, place\, and people\, where we stand for moment and discuss the kind of world we will create. The conversation eventually gives ways to dance\, which\, in turn\, gives way to conversation\, which again\, makes room for dance. We will win. There’s no doubt” \nLAL\, the Toronto Electronic duo comprised of Rosina Kazi and Nicolas Murray\, will release its hotly anticipated new full-length album\, Find Safety\, on April 29 through Calgary-based Coax Records. Following that\, LAL will head out for dates across Canada in May and June (see full schedule below). \nThe result of three years of studio work\, Find Safety combines a myriad of influences\, from Fela Kuti and Massive Attack\, to Pete Rock and Detroit Techno. Lyrically\, the album is informed by LAL’s community shows at its west end Toronto performance space\, Unit 2\, as well as Kazi and Murray’s passionate ongoing support of social justice causes and art projects\, with an emphasis on Queer and/or BIPOC issues. The album overall addresses a need to create safer spaces for themselves and their friends\, and musically is a masterful blend of synth and sample-based minimalism. Or as they prefer to call it\, 4 a.m. music. \nKIMMORTAL\nQueer Filipina-Canadian Emcee\nwww.kimmortal.com | Kimmortal \nKim Villagante\, also known as K!mmortal\, is an artistic force to be reckoned with. As an artist of lines and rhymes\, as well as an arts-based community organizer\, Kim fuses her phenomenal artistic talents (as a visual-artist\, singer-songwriter\, rap-poet-lyricist\, and actor) with her passion for queer and anti-racist activism. In 2013\, Kim’s debut acting role in hip hop theatre production “Sal Capone: The Lamentable Tragedy Of” landed her a nomination in Montreal English Theatre Awards as “Outstanding Supporting Actress”. In 2014\, she released her debut album\, “Sincerity” and represented Vancouver as the only Filipina emcee in 2015’s Canadian Music Week. Her latest acting accomplishment was playing the lead in the one-woman play “Sister Mary’s A Dyke” written by Flerida Peña and directed by Jan Derbyshire which ran during Vancouver’s Queer Arts Festival in 2015. Kim was awarded the Vancouver Mayor’s Arts Award in Community-Engaged arts in 2013\, and is also the founder of “SHE”\, an annual East-Vancouver event celebrating indigenous\, black\, and women of colour in WORD and MUSIC (shefestvan.com). Her recent self-directed music video\, “Brushing by heaven’s shoulder”\, was animated\, rapped and filmed by Kimmortal and was selected to be screened at San Francisco’s Queer Women of Colour Film festival 2016. \nLEE REED is a respected veteran of the Canadian Indie HipHop scene. For over 20 years he’s been stomping stages and studios\, spewing his unique brand of fiery\, anti-capitalist rant-hop. From mouthpiece for the legendary punk-hop greats Warsawpack\, and throughout his solo work that followed\, Reed’s musical legacy remains committed to the fight for a better world; voicing intersectional anti-oppressive politics through HipHop; and soundtracking and signal-boosting the efforts of communities and organizers struggling on the frontline for social and environmental justice. His latest album\, 2015’s anti-colonial/anti-nationalist anthem “The Butcher The Banker The Bitumen Tanker” spent 14 weeks on the national campus & community radio Top-10 charts\, ending the year as Canada’s #6 HipHop album. \nNumber 3 resonates with the energies of optimism and joy\, inspiration and creativity\, speech and communication\, good taste\, imagination and intelligence\, sociability and society\, friendliness\, kindness and compassion. Number 3 also relates to art\, humour\, energy\, growth\, expansion and the principles of increase\, spontaneity\, broad-minded thinking\, synthesis\, triad\, heaven-human-earth\, past-present-future\, thought-word-action\, demonstrates love through creative imagination\, comprehensive\, fulfilment\, encouragement\, assistance\, talent and skills\, culture\, wit\, a love of fun and pleasure\, freedom-seeking\, adventure\, exuberance\, brilliance\, free-form\, being brave\, non-confrontational\, free-form\, rhythm\, passion\, surprise\, sensitivity\, self-expression\, affability\, enthusiasm\, youthfulness\, enlivenment\, psychic ability\, manifesting and manifestation.

SUMMARY:The Anatomy of the Downtown Metrotown Plan
DESCRIPTION:Earlier this year\, in response to the demovictions crisis that is displacing more than 600 households\, Burnaby City Council announced a new plan for the Metrotown neighbourhood: The “Downtown” Metrotown Plan. \nWhat promises does this plan hold for the existing majority renter community in Metrotown? Come to a public forum about Mayor Corrigan’s plan to turn Metrotown into a “downtown” for Burnaby. \nWe will focus on defining the potential social impact of the plan for more than 3000 apartment units within its scope\, and for the region as a whole\, which is in the midst of a widely acknowledged rental crunch. After discussing the effects of this plan\, we will focus on what we can do to stop it. \nOrganized by Stop Demovictions Burnaby Campaign\nhttp://stopdisplacement.ca/burnaby\ninfo@stopdisplacement.ca\n@stopdisplacemnt

The violence experienced by Aboriginal women and girls in Canada is a national tragedy. We must take the time to give thanks to the families who are our reason we all continue to demand action. \nA vigil can take many forms\, from a moment of silence to a rally to a community feast. All that is important is that you take some time on or around October 4th to mark the day. \nWe firmly believe that the October 4th Sisters In Spirit Vigils are a movement for social change. The number of SIS Vigils has grown from 11 in 2006 to an impressive 216 vigils in 2014. \nEach year\, family members\, Aboriginal community members\, and concerned citizens gather for a vigil on October 4th to honour the memory of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls.

SUMMARY:Social Justice not Social Entrepreneurs!
DESCRIPTION:CCAP town hall on the City’s Community Economic Development Plan \nWHEN: 1-3pm\, Saturday\, October 1st 2016\nWHERE: Carnegie Theatre\, Unceded Coast Salish Territories \nThe City is pushing through a new Community Economic Development Strategy for the Downtown Eastside this fall. The strategy touches on everything from street vending\, community benefit agreements\, employment and volunteering opportunities\, retail tax exemptions\, loss of affordable retail to social enterprises. \nTaken together\, the strategy will have a significant impact on low-income people in the Downtown Eastside. On Saturday\, October 1st\, we are holding a town hall at the Carnegie in order to inform Downtown Eastside residents and community groups about some of the measures the strategy proposes. We will also present our retail and zones of exclusion research at the town hall\, our concerns about the strategy\, and we want your feedback! \nWhile the strategy mentions the need to increase welfare rates\, it is predominantly in favour of market solutions to poverty in the Downtown Eastside. As such\, we are concerned that the strategy fails to address the root causes of poverty in the neighbourhood\, and some of the measures supported by the plan will actually facilitate gentrification and the loss of low-income housing. \nCome to the town hall and learn how the economic development strategy will impact low-income residents. We will discuss the strategy\, why market approaches to poverty doesn’t work and real measures to address poverty in the neighbourhood. \nCoffee and snacks will be provided! \nThe town hall is taking place on the unceded coast salish territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Wauthuth) and Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish) peoples.
