📣 Say it with us: the rent is TOO DAMN HIGH.

That’s why we are fighting for #HomesForAll — and demanding the government invest in housing solutions that work for us.

The Carney government is on the verge of a deal that will pave the way for a tar sands pipeline from AB to the BC coast — threatening our oceans and trampling on Indigenous rights, to enrich oil + gas corporations.

So many of our dreams for the future are tied up with housing.

Right now, @mark-carney.bsky.social has a chance to make sure all of us have a place to call home — one that meets our needs, and that allows us to stay in our communities.

Israel continues to bomb Gaza and deny the entry of aid in a blatant violation of the ceasefire deal.

Canada must hold Israel to account. Email and call your MP today to demand sanctions and a FULL arms embargo.

People need to be able to afford their rent right now — which is why we need rent and vacancy control to keep corporate landlords from padding their profit margins at our expense.

Everyone deserves a good place to call home.

It’s time to fight for housing solutions that put people, not profits, first — such as government-subsidized affordable, co-op, and public housing.

“The crisis is that if I sell my house, I will have made over a million dollars for doing nothing, and not have to pay tax on it. Yet my grandchildren have no prospect of ever buying a house. This is totally unfair.” David Homes for All / Leadnow

Our network stands in solidarity with the flotilla participants bringing life-saving aid to Gaza who have been illegally abducted by Israel.

While the ceasefire deal brings hope, it does not erase the suffering Palestinians have endured, or Canada's complicity.

Over the past thirty years, our governments have abandoned responsibility for housing to the private sector. We need to take back housing from wealthy real estate investors and landlords — and make accessible homes for everyone

“My husband and I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment that’s less than 500 sq. ft. Our rent takes up more than 50% of our income. It’s made it impossible to make plans for the future... half the time we can’t even afford our grocery bill. We are one paycheck away from being homeless.” Anonymous Homes for All / Leadnow

Wages for low and middle class are far too low as well, in addition to rent being too high.

🧵 After two years of genocide in Gaza, a new #ceasefire deal has been reached.

We stand in solidarity with Palestinians during this moment, which will bring much-needed relief to people in Gaza and their families abroad. #FreePalestine 👇
BREAKING A new ceasefire agreement has been reached after 2 years of genocide in Gaza. We stand with Palestinians finding relief and celebrating this news. We must continue calling for an end to the illegal occupation — the fight doesn’t end here. Ceasefire today, liberation tomorrow. Free Palestine.

Fewer and fewer people in Canada can find a home they can afford.

Real estate investors have turned housing into a machine for profit, making rents and home prices unaffordable for the rest of us.

“I am a full-time paramedic in BC. It’s been hard to find decent housing for a long time. I lost my rental in Vancouver and after struggling to find a new place with prices just climbing and climbing, I ended up having to leave my hometown to try to find a place to live on Vancouver Island. Every time I get close to saving for a home of my own, costs change and go up.” Elly Homes for All / Leadnow

“My biggest concern is finding stable housing. In the last 6 years, I have moved 7 times, for various reasons: uncapped rent increases, my roommates being priced out of their leases, poorly maintained rental units where landlords refuse to fix basic use items for months on end.” Kathryn Homes for All / Leadnow

“I have a Master’s degree and work as a therapist, yet I can’t afford to live in the city in which I work. I feel doomed to pay exorbitant rent to landlords who can take my home from me at any moment. My boyfriend’s rent is half his income... it stresses me out to consider planning our life together. It feels so unfair that I have good credit and can scrounge together rent, but I don't have the margin to save for a down payment.” Anonymous Homes for All / Leadnow

I am on CPPD, and I make less than half minimum wage, much less. My spouse works, but it isn't enough to cover basic necessities, so I have to rely on family to help cover things. Our house is falling apart; it needs many repairs that we can't afford. 😪🙃

“I’m on ODSP. My monthly allowance does not cover my rent. I have to rely on aging benefactors to remain housed. My building is old and requires constant repair. The water is often turned off. My apartment has been flooded during one such occasion... I do not feel safe in this building and it does not meet my needs or my expectations. It most definitely is not worth what I'm paying but I can’t afford to move.” Maria Homes for All / Leadnow
