Had the honor and privilege of speaking to a large group of medical residents today.. their feedback reminded me of what my purpose is.. thank you @HAMSMArTeam for allowing me the chance to both trust in Healthcare and in the same moment challenge it.

This is horrible. See HESN tweet for how to contribute. You can also etransfer donations to [email protected] indicate it's for JC Beemer residents & we will ensure that 100% of your donation goes directly to whatever they need. People need safe permanent housing now. #HamOnt

Shame indeed on the city and everyone who helped support their case. We are at a moment in herstory where we all have the responsibility to look inwards and decide who we are and what we stand for. People make systems of oppression, and people can change them, too. Solidarity 💕

We are back in court today fighting for an interlocutory injunction to stop the eviction of encampment residents with no where to go! Stop the displacement. Stop fighting the homeless and fight the roots of homelessness #HousingCrisis @OHomelessness @Make_TheShift

A lot happening in #HamOnt today but want to acknowledge the important step that was taken by @TheAIDSNetwork at today's Board of Health meeting to get Council's support for an application to open a second Consumption and Treatment Site (CTS) in Ward 3. 💛

Will a CTS site lead to finding more discarded needles in the community? It isn't likely. 1/6

At this eviction today there was a person who has now been taken in to custody. Although @JasonFarrHamOnt thinks I am telling people to not cooperate truth is there are circumstances where people can't or are not ready to.

Q. Why open a CTS site in Ward 3?
A. In partnership with The City of Hamilton’s Public Health Services, The AIDS Network coordinates the only mobile harm reduction outreach program serving Hamilton. 1/8
