we believe a poverty-free province is possible.
Poverty is a solvable issue. Our Blueprint for Justice is a roadmap of policy solutions that would lead us toward a poverty-free BC. Following our Blueprint, we seize political moments and run campaigns reflecting our province's deepest need for change.

Raise the Rates
The fastest and easiest way to eliminate deep poverty is to raise assistance rates and eliminate punishing clawbacks. Poverty is not inevitable.

Housing is a Human Right
A home for everyone in BC should be a right, not a luxury. Everyone should have a safe place to call home in BC.

Dignified Public Transit
We believe everyone benefits from a safe, reliable, and free transit system - for our community members, our neighbourhoods, and our planet.
We can’t wait for action on transit, Assistance rates, and housing!
During the 2024 BC provincial election and beyond, the BC government has the opportunity to make meaningful, tangible change for thousands across the province by taking action on:
investing in a dignified, accessible provincial public transit system
raising social and disability assistance rates to the poverty line
legislating housing as a human right for everyone in the province
These steps would move us toward an equitable, livable province for all.
