Episode Synopsis

Vancouver police evicted homeless campers from a tent city near Crab Park in the early morning of June 16. Organizers and observers say the police moved in without due notice and did not work with local agencies to provide other housing options for the campers. We talk with organizer Chrissy Brett and lawyer Anna Cooper about their concerns about the way the VPD enforced the court injunction to remove them from the Vancouver Port Authority parking lot.
