Red tents and hunger strike call for national strategy
Vancouver-based Pivot Legal Society, the Citywide Housing Coalition and other partners announced the launch of their Olympic red tent campaign on Monday January 25th, calling on the federal government to fund a national housing strategy to end homelessness.
The partners call for government to ensure secure, adequate, accessible and affordable housing for all persons living in Canada.
We speak with John Richardson, executive director of Pivot Legal Society, and with Am Johal, a housing activist and organizer of a year-long hunger strike drawing attention to Canada’s lack of a national housing strategy.
