SUMMARY:QTBIPoC Healing Space
DESCRIPTION:> THE LAND \nThis event\, along with the majority of the organizing done by the Black Lives Matter Vancouver Coalition and other organizers\, will be taking place on the traditional\, ancestral and unceded territory and homelands of the Musqueam\, Squamish\, Tsleil-Waututh and Stolo First Nations. We invite our communities to join us in solidarity with Indigenous peoples across and beyond Turtle Island in naming and engaging with the realities of colonial violence\, which as we witnessed on June 12th\, is inseparable from anti-latinx\, anti-black and anti-queer and anti-trans violence. We are grateful to the Coast Salish people for the knowledge\, kindness and indomitable spirit with which they have taken care of this land for millennia and will continue to work in solidarity with their work at this\, and in future events. \n> THE EVENT \nOn June 12th\, a devastating attack took place in Orlando\, Florida. The event was a violent attack on the LGBTQ+ community. The attack took many from the Latinx\, Afro-Latinx and Black communities\, yet this has largely been ignored by mainstream media\, and sadly by much of the LGBTQ+ community here in Vancouver. \nWe would like to hold this space to heal and connect as queer and trans people of colour\, and uplift decolonial ways of loving and nurturing our communities in these hard times. Let’s come together to grieve\, love and heal. \nThis is space being held exclusively for Black\, Latinx\, Indigenous\, Muslim\, and other people of colour whose identities fall on the intersections of being queer\, trans\, two-spirit or elsewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum (QTBIPOC). \nThe space and organizing will prioritise those from the Latinx\, Black\, Indigenous and Muslim communities and ensure a safer space for them. However\, all QTBIPOC are welcome. \nIn remembrance to those who passed during the attack\, the space will contain an altares de muertos put together by our latinx organizers. Decorated with traditional papel picado\, candles\, flores de cempazuchitl (marigolds)\, sugar skulls and the picture of those who lost their lives\, any further offerings of flowers and candles will be welcome. The organizers are conscious that altares are traditionally exclusive to Day of the Dead\, but given the impact this attack has had on the Latinx and Afro-Latinx communities in Orlando\, this feels like an appropriate way to celebrate both the lives and identities of those who are no longer with us. \nIndigenous folks are invited to bring drums\, songs\, or other medicines they wish to contribute to the healing space. \nThere will also be space for quiet reflection\, prayer\, meditation\, art supplies etc. Light refreshments will be available for those needing to break their Ramadan fasts. Active listeners from allied QTBIPOC communities will be available to help create a safer space\, especially for the prioritizied QTBIPOC communities impacted and for general support. \n> THE SPACE \nGallery Gachet. \nThis event is being organized by:\nBlack Lives Matter Vancouver\nBreaking the Fast Muslim Arts Collective\nMembers of the Indigenous\,Latinx\, Afro-Latinx\, Black and Muslim communities of Vancouver

SUMMARY:Plant Walk with T’uy’tanat\, Cease Wyss
DESCRIPTION:Plant Walk with T’uy’tanat\, Cease Wyss\nThursday\, June 16th\, 11am -­ 3pm \nPlease join us for an afternoon as we immerse ourselves in Stanley Park plantlife with knowledge keeper and interdisciplinary artist\, Cease Wyss. \nThe urban environment is rich with plants. By learning about plantlife and their traditional and medicinal uses\, Indigenous knowledge becomes a way to remap the city. Cease leads this interactive walk through Stanley Park: “Everywhere I go in the city I find plantlife. I find it growing up through the cracks of the sidewalks. I see it growing out of the sides of buildings. I see it in the community gardens. The language of plants is extensive. It carries on even beyond our abilities as humans to even imagine\, because they are the second oldest beings on the planet. \nThey are our teachers. They tell us what they are good for. They tell us in their shapes\, they tell us in their colours and in their textures. You become more insightful about your bodies when you learn more about the medicines growing around you.” \nWe will leave promptly from Gallery Gachet at 11am and travel together by bus. Lunch and fare will be provided. Space is limited to 25 participants. If you have needs related to access and mobility please feel free to let us know in advance at programming@gachet.org\, 608­687­2468 or in person at Gallery Gachet during open hours. \nCease Wyss T’Uy’Tanat is a Skwxw’u7mesh ethnobotanist\, media artist\, educator\, food security activist and “Indigenous Plant Diva”\, She is a hip\, urban Aboriginal single mother\, video artist and community leader. She shares her traditional knowledge of plants that can be found throughout the streets and everyday spaces of Vancouver\, reminding us that the medicines are all around us in our urbanized environments. \nThis event is held in conjunction with an upcoming exhibition\, opening August 5th and running to August 28th. Using traditional plants as a starting point to think about and through community health\, this ongoing project investigates Indigenous medicines and other forms of earth­based and non­Western knowledge and healing. Over the summer Wiisaakodewini (Métis) artist\, Dylan Miner\, will work with community members in the Downtown Eastside as part of this socially-engaged project and resulting exhibition.

SUMMARY:Reconcile This! Uniting struggles against colonial dispossession & capitalist displacement
DESCRIPTION:The theft and commodification of resources through settler-colonial occupation underlays every aspect of Canada’s wealth. Under 21st Century austerity governing policies that cut taxes for the rich to cut social programs for the poor\, that wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer super rich\, while more and more low-income working class and Indigenous people are pushed into the streets. But is the solution to this problem simply to redistribute that stolen wealth downwards? Can we imagine struggles against displacement and poverty also lining up behind Indigenous-led struggles against colonial dispossession? \nOn the weekend of June 11 and 12\, delegates from communities throughout the Fraser Valley and southern Vancouver Island will gather in Vancouver to learn from each other and build a stronger fightback against poverty\, homelessness\, and the displacement crisis. On Saturday evening this “Together Against Displacement and Dispossession” organizing summit will include a public event: a panel to investigate a tension within the struggles for the redistribution of wealth stolen through the occupation of native lands. \nSPEAKERS \nJANNIE WING-SEA LEUNG\, Chinatown Action Group\nMELINDA KACHINA BIGE & BRANDON GABRIEL\, Kwantlen First Nation\nASHLEY MOLLISON\, Victoria Super InTent City\nNATALIE KNIGHT\, Yurok nation & Volcano newspaper \nAccessibility information: The church’s kitchen entrance is at street level\, which gives access to washrooms\, kitchen\, and lower hall. One washroom has a stall that can accommodate a wheelchair. The washroom door opening is 86cm and the stall door is 61cm. Washrooms are de-gendered for community events. The workshop is in English. \nChildcare: There will be childminding available onsite. Please call 778-899-3210 or email organize@stopdisplacement.ca to reserve a spot. \nThe panel will be taking place on the unceded coast salish territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Wauthuth) and Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish) peoples.

SUMMARY:Gentrification and disappearing low-income retail
DESCRIPTION:Come to a CCAP Town Hall to talk about the growing number of “zones of exclusion” in the Downtown Eastside and about what makes a store or a service low-income friendly. CCAP will try to collect your thoughts\, identify and map all the low income stores (existing and lost) and make recommendations to the city about how to stop gentrification and save the existing shops that cater to the low-income community. To make it a bit more fun\, we will also be voting on which retail stores are the most affordable and friendly if you are low-income! \nThe townhall will be translated into Cantonese.\nTea\, coffee and snacks will be provided. \nBACKGROUND \nAs wealthier people move into the neighborhood\, more spaces are devoted to offering amenities that cater to them. Grocery stores\, banks\, coffee shops\, restaurants\, salons\, various retail stores\, night clubs\, stylish pubs\, etc. begin to appear throughout the neighborhood\, and are priced beyond what people on fixed low income can afford. These sites become zones of exclusion. \nAt the same time\, retail that caters to the low-income community are priced out\, upscaled or closed down. Survival street vendors are harassed\, criminalized and pushed out of the neighbourhood. As gentrification destroys low-income spaces and produces more and more zones of exclusion\, low-income residents become alienated from their own community. It is the experience of internal displacement – the feeling of being out of place in one’s own neighborhood. \nThe town hall will be taking place on the unceded coast salish territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Wauthuth) and Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish) peoples.

SUMMARY:Bookmaking Workshop with Karen Ward: Intro to Coptic Binding
DESCRIPTION:Ever want to learn how to make your own books? – those ones with the cool stitching on the spine that lie flat when you open them? Artist extraordinaire and Gallery Gachet associate member\, Karen Ward\, can teach you how! Please join us for a 3-hour bookbinding workshop. \nKaren Ward lives in the Downtown Eastside and is an artist and activist. Her work often incorporates the stuff that other people throw away: it is a grassroots approach to art that feeds her political work\, and of course vice versa. She saw her first letterpress almost twenty years ago\, and did academic work on the history of printing and bookmaking. Much of Ward’s work involves using old forms in new and unexpected ways. \nThe full cost of the workshop is $40.00\, and includes bookmaking supplies. Space is limited; you are best to RSVP in advance via Eventbrite (link above). If not all tickets are sold online\, drop-in tickets will be sold at the studio.  \nIf you would really like to take this workshop but cannot afford it\, please contact us at WePressVancouver [at] gmail.com. We will definitely be offering this workshop again\, and do provide workshops for free through Gallery Gachet\, Carnegie Centre\, and Oppenheimer Park. We try to accommodate as many people as we can!  \nPlease contact us if you have any questions at WePressVancouver [at] gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Tent City: Out of Sight & Policing Poverty
DESCRIPTION:In 2012\, VIPIRG released a report called “Out of Sight: Policing Poverty in Victoria\, Coast and Straits Salish Territories”. http://www.vipirg.ca/2012/01/out-of-sight-policing-poverty-in-victoria/ \nJoin us for an informal discussion with Rose Henry\, Kym Hothead (with a guest from Tent City)\, and Derek Book. We’ll be gathering in Centennial Square\, with lots of snacks and bus tickets. \nThings we’ll be chatting about:\n-How is poverty policed in Victoria today\, specifically at Tent City?\n-How are tickets and warrants affecting Tent City (as seen in this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjCPDtdETkA)?\n-Why do we need more affordable housing?\n-How are we as a society contributing to housing injustice? \nWe’ll also be accepting donations for a new camera for additional security for Tent City folks\, which will be used as a tool to record their interactions with police. \nThis event is happening on the traditional occupied territory of the Coast Salish peoples\, specifically the Lkwugen nation.

SUMMARY:行動 Action: 制止Beedie在105! Stop Beedie at 105!
DESCRIPTION:#制止Beedie在105 行動: Beedie Living 發展商位於奇化街105號的開發項目申請不夠好！\n#StopBeedieAt105 ACTION: Beedie Living’s development proposal for 105 Keefer is not good enough! \n時間：星期三 2016年6月1日，下午2:45\n地點：”社區大會會議室“\, 溫哥華市政廳 （西12街453號，夾甘比街Cambie St.)\nWhen: Wednesday\, June 1\, 2016\, 2:45 pm\nWhere: Town Hall Meeting Room\, Vancouver City Hall \n在過去的星期\, 加拿大國家信託登出他們第12屆所準備的十大地方受威脅排行榜。溫哥華唐人街是其中被列出的地方。還有，溫哥華古蹟會最近在他們的十大溫市地方受威脅及要關注的排行榜，排唐人街在第三位。他們認爲華埠是受不斷及高速發展的威脅。這土地用途更改發脹項目只會繼續及加速這危機。\nThis past week\, the National Trust for Canada released its 12th annual Top 10 Endangered Places list\, with Vancouver’s Chinatown being one these sites. Additionally\, Heritage Vancouver recently listed Chinatown as #3 on its Top 10 Watch List of endangered sites in the city that is being threatened by relentless development. This rezoning application will only contribute and exacerbate this crisis. \n齊來 #團結為唐人街 及與唐人街關注組一齊在星期三 6月1日在溫市市政廳表達我們對Beedie 發展商最新土地用途更改申請的關注。市府委員會，城市規劃小組 （Urban Design Panel）會在他們的會議中討論被更新的奇化街105號項目申請。我們計劃參加這會議及當這規劃小組考慮及研究這項目是向他們施下壓力。\nLet’s #unite4chinatown and join the Chinatown Concern Group on Wednesday\, June 1 at Vancouver City Hall as we demonstrate our concerns regarding Beedie’s most recent rezoning application. The Urban Design Panel will be meeting to discuss the revised proposal of 105 Keefer Street development. We intend to sit in on the meeting and put pressure on the UDP as it evaluates the application. \n被有些人認定為華埠的核心地块，奇化街105號這幅地必須適當地為社區發展。現在項目申請所計劃的25個長者社會房屋單位根本是不足，不夠好，尤其是這重要的地方。我們在這幅地想見到的發展就是100%社會房屋低收入人群真正可負擔的。\nCalled by some as the heart of Chinatown\, the 105 Keefer site must be developed appropriately for the community. The 25 social housing units for seniors in the proposed development at 105 Keefer is simply not good enough for such an important site. Alternatively\, we want to see 100% social housing units that are truly affordable to the community developed at that site. \n齊來反應我們對這土地用途更改申請的反對! Beedie發展商的申請根本就不夠好，該幅地可以有為更好的方法為社區開發。\nJoin us in making a stand in opposition to this rezoning application! Beedie’s application is simply #notgoodenough and the site can be developed in a much better way for the community. \n/// \n*齊來，下午2:45到達 溫哥華市政廳 （西12街453號，夾甘比街Cambie St.)\n*Join us at Vancouver City Hall (453 West 12th Avenue) at 2:45! \n唐人街關注組會先在加麗基社區中心（“緬街圖書館”， 緬街401號）一樓下午2:00集合，然後一起搭公共交通去溫市市政廳。\nThe Chinatown Concern Group will be gathering in advance on the 1st floor of Carnegie Community Centre (401 Main St.) at 2 pm and then transiting together to City Hall. \n*Volunteers are needed to help interpret (Cantonese\, Mandarin) for Chinese seniors of the Chinatown Concern Group!

SUMMARY:Rally for Education
DESCRIPTION:The 1976 UN Covenant of Economic\, Social\, and Cultural Rights deemed Education a fundamental human right. Yet\, in BC\, our education system has been seriously neglected by the provincial government. We see that students in BC are suffering\, from early childhood education\, all the way through to post-secondary. \nThere have been school closures\, overcrowded classrooms and a lack of support for children with special needs. The BC Liberal government promised to reduce class-size and class-composition issues quite some time ago; but students are still waiting for support that they desperately need. According to a news release from the BC Teacher’s Federation (BCTF)\, The BC government funds education $1\,000 less per student than the national average\, the second worst in Canada. \nAs students\, parents\, and community members\, we must come together so that another generation of children are not deprived of the opportunity to reach their full potential. \nJoin us on May 28th at the Vancouver Art gallery to show that it is not the bureaucrats that decide what the best way to learn is. It is the constituents that do! \nOur goal is to show that education is a foundational right because of the impact it has on every member of our society. There needs to be more input by parents\, teachers\, and students into the way the education system works and this is only going to change if we stand together with the common goal of increasing funding for our education. \nThe BC Government is closing down schools. Since 2002\, BC has lost the equivalent of 3\,500 full-time teachers and we are going to see 28\,200 more school-age kids in BC classrooms within six years. IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE OF PRIORITIES! The BC Government must listen to its constituents and fund education. Come out on May 28th to make our voices heard!
