The democratic socialists from @COPEVancouver just elected a dozen candidates in Vancouver’s city elections.
How did the party go from nearly dead to reshaping Vancouver politics? Here’s 10 things the party did to rebuild.

"Vancouver is a progressive city. We’re not a city of Ken Sims and Dallas Brodies. We are a city of progressive values, and people in Vancouver showed up tonight in a big, big way, and I’m so proud of us."

Proud to be part of this movement!
4 years ago they were writing obituaries for @COPEVancouver. Now the municipal party is poised for a comeback.

In response to the pledge’s commitment to work to end all support for isra*l’s apartheid regime, settler colonialism, and military occupation, onecity states “we heard from people in this city who told us this language would make them feel targeted rather than heard”

Please join me once again in ratioing the Mayor
Change has begun in Vancouver. We’ve made progress despite many challenges, and stability has begun to return. We cannot erase that progress and go back to the way it was before.
Now we have an opportunity to push for the real, lasting change Vancouver still needs.
The Public Safety Plebiscite is a major part of that change.
A YES vote supports stronger City laws to forbid open air hard drug use in public spaces and sends a clear message to the Province that Vancouver needs secure medical treatment, including 100+ involuntary care beds, for people experiencing severe mental health and substance use disorders.
It means giving police stronger tools to address open air hard drug use and pushing for real treatment for people in crisis.
A YES vote is the first step. ABC is the only party supporting the Public Safety Plebiscite. The other parties have opposed it.
Only Mayor Ken Sim and your ABC Vancouver team are committed to delivering it.
On October 17th, vote YES on the Public Safety Plebiscite and re-elect Mayor Ken Sim and your ABC Vancouver team.
