The Rise Initiative

If you want to truly address an issue, dive to the root of it. In 2021, the plan is to collaborate with youth workers and agencies to address the root of the problem in order to better serve and empower our youth, tomorrow’s leaders!

The power of community. Today was inspiring and a great illustration of what happens when we join forces.

With so many families facing homelessness in #Ottawa right now, we cannot afford to be wasting city resources this way. This money could be better spent to provide better living conditions and help more families. Land owners should not be profiting off of people’s misfortunes. These children deserve stable and safe homes that provide them with a sense of value and dignity. It’s especially unsettling to see that this building is almost exclusively filled with vulnerable, raci...alized families living under these poor conditions. We can do better. We have joined a coalition of amazing organizations such as @ottawa_acorn, @cwp_csp, @equalchance_ , @hitthestreets.ca, @kindspaceca, @make_theshift sent an open letter to @jimwatsonottawa and the @cityofottawa asking for changes to be made. Please spread awareness and demand our beautiful city do better.
