"Flourish"

There was a great turn out at the Welfare, Healthcare, & Housing event, hosted by HRV, APC, HarmLess et al.

The reality of our welfare system was both anecdotally and objectively explored (its cyclical, oppressive trends). Lots of challenging realities were discussed, paired with a variety of solutions and action plans.

1) 1.3% of B.C's GDP (2.5billion dollars)is all that is needed to raise everybody above the poverty line
2) Since when has "basic" & "adequate" housing been enough? There was talk about FLOURISHING and SUSTAINABLE housing!!
3) Is inaction due to a value or information gap?
4) We can do this- poverty is not inevitable. Let's mobilize our people!

Let's eliminate "us" & "them"
