Toronto’s shelter system is consistently over-capacity & a lack of support from the federal gov’t has left many asylum seekers with nowhere to go—forced to sleep outside. This is unacceptable. All levels of gov’t must step up to address this emergency. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/t…

Connect the dots! We're calling on mayoral candidates to invest in non-police responses to crisis and violence, and safe shelter and housing, so no one needs to shelter on #TTC. The TTC’s “Move Along” initiative is a disturbing plan to hide homelessness. 1 ttcriders.ca/movealong
