Prioritizing prevention works, and together we can build neighbourhoods that are safer and accessible for all to enjoy, without excluding, shaming, or abandoning those who are most vulnerable.
Homelessness, addiction, mental health and violence are housing and health challenges, and we can address these root causes while proportionately protecting one another.

Federal Political Advocacy - 2019 & 2021
"Politics wasn't for me... or so I thought. I was always a grassroots organizer pushing for change from the outside-in, but in order to make the kind of systemic changes we need, I knew we needed a seat at the table."
