• Time to get to work electing OneCity’s candidates on Oct 20th

    Christine's speech before the polls opened at the OneCity Vancouver nomination meeting.

     

    “Local politics in Vancouver has been dominated for too long by real estate interests and profit motives, trying to normalize our growing wealth gap, continuing with business as usual.

    But this housing crisis can’t be normalized. This opioid crisis can’t be normalized. The arts spaces disappearing, the small businesses closing down, the vastly unequal distribution of wealth can’t be normalized.

    We have a choice. We can continue to tinker at the edges, and watch this city become more and more of a shiny, empty place.  Or we treat these crises like crises, can be bold about addressing them.

    I’ve spent my adult life organizing on the ground for justice, for dignity, for community. I’m running for City Council to continue that work.

    To bring your voices, the voices of communities and social movements, to City Hall. To ensure that the voices of marginalized and underrepresented communities are heard loud and clear.

    I’m running for City Council to ensure that every neighbourhood in this beautiful, abundantly wealthy city of ours, is for everyone.

    I’m running for City Council to tackle this tale of two cities. To make Vancouver One City: A city for everyone.”

     


     

    What an honour to be running as one of OneCity Vancouver‘s candidates for City Council this Fall, alongside Brandon Yan for Vancouver City Council.

    We have a lot of work ahead, to get all five of OneCity’s candidates elected on Oct 20th. I’d love to have your help.

    Share this video, and then donate, and sign up to volunteer at: https://christineboyle.ca/get-involved.

    OneCity candidates are going to be a mighty force on your City Council and School Board in the years to come. We’re ready, I’m ready, to make Vancouver a city for everyone.

    Thank you for all of your support so far.
