2020 BC Provincial Election - https://mailchi.mp/dd00dc2d6b2d/2020-bc-provincial-election

As you are aware, the Richmond Poverty Reduction Coalition (RPRC) and the Richmond Centre For Disability (RCD) usually host an #AllCandidatesMeeting on #SocialJustice issues for every election. However, COVID has changed all that. Instead, we asked14 questions to the 12 candidates in Richmond and have posted their answers. We hope that they can share their viewpoints with citizens in Richmond. Please note, some candidates did not provide their responses. Please see link to... their answers on the RCD webpage below: https://bit.ly/3dIfDrp Thanks all, and please remember to vote! Even voting in person is not an onerous task. They have people opening doors for you, and hand sanitizer and masks at the door.
