Cheers and flowers for all the candidates and volunteers who threw down hard on the ground game: this is how we build power from below! People organized relentlessly for a city government for the 99% – and they *won*. Today Vancouver belongs to the many, not the money.

This was key – working together across differences is what’s needed in these scary political times. Congrats to @copevancouver.bsky.social, @onecityvan.bsky.social, the @vangreens.bsky.social: it wasn’t always easy, but it worked.

The parties were strategic in agreeing on a fixed number of candidates, and narrowed the field for one progressive mayoralty candidate.

I’m levitating today in the warm afterglow of a left-wing surge in my home city of Vancouver! Democratic socialists and progressives united to take on the power of big money and the politics of fear and division. dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...
