[news] Seven Questions with the Anti-Poverty Committee

[Resist!ca]

Jill Chettiar is an organizier with Vancouver's Anti-Poverty Committee (APC). Similar to organizations like the "Ontario Coalition Against Poverty" (OCAP), APC take an uncompromising and militant approach to fighting for the rights of poor and marginalized people. Not surprisingly, such an approach has not been well received by the cops; the Vancouver Police Department have been escalating their repression of APC and last summer, Vancouver's "progressive" (sic) Mayor Larry Campbell denounced them as a "bunch of anarchists." Below, Jill answers seven questions from Gina Whitfield of the progressive online magazine "Seven Oaks."
