Human rights are only realizable from a place of dialogue and engagement, and never through violence.
The only solution to the standoff of encampments in the @cityoftoronto is one based in human rights.
Here is a roadmap:

"People are literally dying just trying to get housing somewhere." — @lorrainelamchop, an outreach worker at @sanctuaryTO, at 11pm with Rebecca Schiff (@LU_HealthSci), Reverend Ron Dunn (@downtownmission), Nadine Green (A Better Tent City) & @spaikin | Producer: @ColinEllis81

Lorraine points out that the experts are the people affected by the issue. A nicer approach then calling them ‘hard to house’.

My tv story on a collaboration to provide info on vaccines through comics. @nursegirlt did the writing, @wentingthings and @Josharonch illustrated the first 2. Today @hello_sane used the comics at a shelter vaccination site
A new project is aiming to tackle vaccine hesitancy among people living with homelessness — by using comics to communicate public health messages. As @CBCLorenda reports, the initiative hopes to change some people’s attitudes.

Advocates say Union Station’s barricading and removal of benches discriminates against those experiencing homelessness, adding to their vulnerability to the virus.

In the midst of disease and fire, poverty and death by overdose or otherwise, we turn again to celebrate a babe. A Palestinian. A Jew. The reason we call ourselves Christian. God’s beloved. Nowhere to sleep but a feed trough. The Sanctuary Christmas Dinner. Out the door for 2020.
