Friends of the Woodwards Squat

This is a reference guide for proposals to reorganize the strategy and structure of the Anti-Poverty Committee (APC). The first section outlines four proposals for APC's overall strategy. The first consists of a proposal to confront the Liberal government in BC; the second proposal is to decentralize power and build community in the APC; the third is an APC structural analysis and proposal for loose coalitions; and the fourth, 'Class Struggle: "Perspective"' outlines general ideas of class struggle and strategy within it. The second section of the document concerns proposals for strategic execution that are linked with the proposals for overall strategy. These focus on specific campaigns and their functioning and relationship to education, outreach, and actions.

This provides comments and feedback of an evaluation of the Anti-Poverty Committee. Questions and responses focus on campaigns and tactics, strategies, membership, use of resources, and education and outreach. There is a general sense that improvements can be made, particularly in terms of developing an overall strategy for the group.

This is a proposal for the reorganizing of Anti-Poverty Committee's strategy and structure that focuses on decentralizing power in the organization and on building community. Among its suggestions are an APC directory, flexible campaigns, rotating main campaign, translation of materials, and availability of education. It provides an action proposal for the Six Bucks Sucks and IOC=International Olympic Campbell campaigns, as well as for direct action casework. It stresses inclusion, direct action, alliance building, and strategic organizing.

This is a letter drafted by the Anti-Poverty Committee to Larry Campbell, mayor of Vancouver, concerning the injunction against the squatters at Woodwards. It addresses the election promises of Campbell and COPE that included solutions to the housing crisis and stopping the injunction initiated by their predecessors, the NPA. It expresses the APC's concerns that these promises are not being kept. This letter was not sent.
