The upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics has escalated the homelessness crisis in Vancouver's Downtown East side and the Greater Vancouver area. Since the Olympic bid, homelessness has nearly tripled in the GVRD, while real estate and condominium development in the Downtown East side is out-pacing social housing by a rate of 3:1. Meanwhile, a heightened police presence has further criminalize those living in extreme material poverty in the poorest postal code in Canada.

With the eyes of the world on Vancouver, residents of the Downtown
East side and our supporters will be taking the streets to affirm our call for justice and dignity. We want:
1. Real action to end homelessness now
2. End condo development and displacement in the Downtown Eastside 3. End discriminatory ticketing, police harassment, and all forms of
criminalization of poverty.

No more empty talk and no more empty lots.
