Ms. Que Banh<p>In <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VictoriaBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VictoriaBC</span></a> - you get in trouble from bylaw officers if you cook/feed the poor & houseless folks in Summer. You don't get in much trouble & usually left alone in cold, freezing weather in Winter because bylaw officers won't patrol much when conditions are miserable out. I learned that from past lived experiences when trying to cook outside to feed <a href="https://beige.party/tags/hungry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hungry</span></a> & <a href="https://beige.party/tags/houseless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>houseless</span></a> folks.</p><p>I wouldn't feel the need to keep trying to feed people here if our governments, & our society as a whole, didn't treat houseless folks like they're not human & not deserving of kindness, compassion & understanding. Some of us citizens have got in trouble for trying to feed people - when the people trying to punish people like me aren't doing much to help feed & house the folks who need to be fed & housed the most. </p><p>I'm not a criminal. The heartless governments & ignorant people who <a href="https://beige.party/tags/stigmatize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stigmatize</span></a> hungry, houseless folks, while doing shit all to help out, are the real criminals in our society.</p><p>I will ALWAYS try to feed the hungry, without judgements. I hope more people will also go out to feed the hungry, without judgements. We - the grassroots citizens, who care - are local humanity in action. We need to keep trying to help folks in our own communities, as much as we can. We need to keep resisting the fascists who try to destroy our efforts.</p><p>Cruel fascists are no benefit to any community. Whether they're elected officials or not. The houseless are part of all of our communities. They don't deserve to be ignored & treated like lesser than humans.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/FeedTheHungry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FeedTheHungry</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/StopTheStigma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopTheStigma</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CommunitySocialWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunitySocialWork</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HelpYourCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HelpYourCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BeAHumanitarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeAHumanitarian</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HelpTheHungry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HelpTheHungry</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/YYJpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YYJpoli</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BCpoli</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HomelessnessIsNotACrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomelessnessIsNotACrime</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PovertyIsNotACrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PovertyIsNotACrime</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SocialJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialJustice</span></a></p>
