Youth Are Calling for Free Public Transit Across BC via @TheTyee thetyee.ca/Opinion/2024/0…
Moving up the timing of federal transit funding would “help alleviate some of the pressures” faced by TransLink—that runs buses and SkyTrain in Metro Vancouver, home to just over half of the provincial population—says @MarcLeeCCPA. vicnews.com/news/bc-econom…
We see 3 policies that would alleviate poverty in BC: 🚎 invest in reliable, affordable, & dignified transit 📈lift people out of deep poverty by raising the rates of disability and social assistance 🏘 create provincial legislation enshrining housing as a human right #BCPoli

Public spending is meant to ensure everyone's needs are met, but #BCbudget2024 mentions poverty only a handful of times. @CentreforEquity, alongside 80+ other member organizations, is helping us push for a more inclusive province.

People shouldn't have to make every perfect choice to deserve to live somewhere, but when people who are doing that are still being forced out... it demonstrates that our society has really failed to fulfill its promises to its citizens. - @michellecyca 💯 no notes.

👏👏👏 Free transit makes it easier for teens to access school, extracurricular, and employment opportunities that are critical to their development and future success.
B.C. made public transit free for youth up to 12 across the province. But what about teens? This #EarthDay2024, Transit for Teens are pushing provincial leaders to extend the program to age 18. 🚏🚌 thetyee.ca/Opinion/2024/0…
On #EarthDay we stand in solidarity with Wet'suwet'en land and water defenders. @Dave_Eby @NikiSharma2, drop the charges against Wet'suwet'en land defenders, Every day is #EarthDay #WetsuwetenStrong

Today, our govt. announced $300 million in @TransLink funding to address overcrowding on transit. More service hours on over 60 bus routes, addit. weekday SeaBus service & later HandyDART service will make transit more reliable for those who depend on it. news.gov.bc.ca/30720

How do we eliminate poverty in BC? With a stronger social safety net. We could start by providing more accessible and reliable public transit, building more affordable, accessible and safe housing, and raising the rates for social and disability assistance.
During this legislative break I had the opportunity to meet with the BC Poverty Reduction Coalition in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. I appreciated learning about their people-centred, evidence-based solutions to end poverty, homelessness and inequality in B.C.
