The BC Poverty Reduction Coalition exists on traditional, ancestral and unceded xʷməθkʷiy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) territories, home of the Hul’q’umi’num’ speaking peoples. We acknowledge the historical and present day practices of colonization and recognize that poverty is interwoven with colonization, oppression and genocide. We strive to stand in solidarity with Indigenous people and communities in the assertion of Indigenous peoples’ rights, cultural practices, land defence and food harvesting.
