Summary: 
This is a newsletter of the Anti-Poverty Committee, an anti-capitalist and anti-oppression organization fighting for the rights of poor and working people in Vancouver, BC. This issue includes the articles: ""Hope Village Fights for the Right to Sleep in Peace"" (on the proposal for a legal tent city brought before COPE and the need for shelter and social housing), ""Safe Streets: Safe for Who?"" (on the Safe Streets Coalition's proposed legislation against panhandling and squeegeeing which are described as attacks on the poor and homeless), and ""Dissent Members and HEU Right IWA Local"" (on actions against the leader of an IWA Local that is not working on the behalf of the members but for the BC Liberals). It also states their basis of unity, lists ways to get involved through meetings and donations, and announces that their office has moved.
