On Saturday, October 4th, OCAP took to the streets in the downtown east end, a neighbourhood that has one the largest concentrations of homeless people in Canada, and is also one of oldest working class neighbourhoods in the country.
"We are doing so because poor and homeless people are being dispossessed and displaced, as the neighbourhood is systematically destroyed and rebuilt as a refuge for the city's wealthy," says OCAP.
"We refuse to be pushed aside. It is time for us to stand up for our neighbourhoods, and the services and spaces we need and deserve. It is time to expose the anti-poor agenda of this municipal government and demand what is ours."
