Sanctuary City from Below: dismantling the City of Vancouver
"declarations of sanctuary by municipal governments are only
meaningful if they are accompanied by clear implementation strategies
and accountability mechanisms; victories must be defended by our
communities to prevent them from being rolled back; our political power
lies in challenging, not appealing to, power; and zones of sanctuary are
actively constituted not by politicians but by us – as service
providers, educators, healthcare professionals, and neighbours – on the
basis of solidarity and mutual aid"
