Our Purpose

One of the many assets of the DTES are the numerous, strong and vocal community organizations working to keep the priorities of the residents at the forefront of public and government attention, particularly in light of social and political failures to prevent the rapid gentrification of the neighbourhood. However, the complex, overlapping and layered histories of the area mean that these voices are often fragmented and with this, their capacity strained. The purpose of this project is to support a coalescing partnership among DTES community organizations and human rights leaders that advances a collective and sustained human rights agenda for the DTES and beyond. We are doing this through a careful historical integration of human rights struggles, community human rights dialogues , and arts-centered knowledge mobilization.
