Friends of the Woodwards Squat

This is a leaflet announcing a demonstration at the Police Board Meeting, at the Vancouver Public Library on October 16th, 2002. The action is organized by the Anti-Poverty Committee in response to the police actions at the Woodwards' squat and the Britannia Community Centre police riots. It lists demands against these police actions and asks for apologies from the Vancouver Police Board and Gordon Campbell.

This is a media release by the Anti-Poverty Committee announcing a rally at the Woodwards building on September 24th, 2002, in support of the Woodwards squatters and social housing. It is also a mobilization against the Vancouver Police and the policies of the BC Liberal government.

This is a release by the Anti-Poverty Committee stating that they have joined the national housing campaign 'Give It or Guard It'. The announcement outlines Demands included as part of the campaign (e.g. the restoration of social housing funding, development of anti-vacancy bylaws, and rent controls, amongst others), provides information on causes for the national housing crisis, and describes housing squats that have risen across the country in response to the crisis. The announcement also calls for other groups to endorse the demands and campaign.

This is an email from the Anti-Poverty Committee (APC) to the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty reporting on actions in a Vancouver City Council meeting, where the sale of the Woodwards building was discussed. It describes the opposition to this proposal, as well as an ultimatum letter delivered to all levels of government that discusses solutions to the housing crisis and lists the demands of the 'Give It or Guard It' campaign.
