Halifax Coalition Against Poverty
From EndCanadianPoverty.ca
"HCAP is a direct-action, anti-poverty organization based in Halifax, NS. We organize to defend individuals who are mistreated because of being poor. As well, we launch campaigns against regressive government policy and the institutions that perpetuate poverty. We believe that there is dignity in resistance and that the poor, homeless, and their allies should organize to fight back.
As social services are continuously clawed back and the gap between rich and poor widens, the need to resist becomes increasingly urgent. Hundreds sleep on the street and in temporary shelters due to desperately inadequate social housing. Welfare and disability rates cannot sustain a decent standard of living and the minimum wage provides no escape from impoverishment. Our economy centralizes wealth in the hands of the few while government policy protects property and profit - keeping the poor in their place."
