Park Bench, Subway, or Union Station

from Trial by Shelter: Speaking back to the war on the unhoused · host Voices

In this part 2 of episode 3 we delve deeper into who are most vulnerable to service restrictions, the consequences people face, the lack of accountability for the unjust harms of service restrictions, or a harm reduction approach to preventing them. Former shelter worker, activist and artist, Noora Mahmood joins us again with her inside view of the shelter system. And the many community members who have done the labour of sharing their testimonials so that the public can come to understand how carceral and punitive the Toronto shelter system is.
