On the weekend of June 11 and 12, delegates from communities throughout the Fraser Valley and southern Vancouver Island will gather in Vancouver to learn from each other and build a stronger fightback against poverty, homelessness, and the displacement crisis. On Saturday evening this “Together Against Displacement and Dispossession” organizing summit will include a public event: a panel to investigate a tension within the struggles for the redistribution of wealth stolen through the occupation of native lands.
