United We Can founder Ken Lyotier shared these words at a tribute for Jim Green on Saturday, April 14 at the Orpheum in Vancouver -- Green lost his battle with lung cancer earlier this year.

On December 29th, 2009, a rolling hunger strike calling for a national housing program in Canada reached the 1 year mark.  Each week, for the past year, citizens in Vancouver have taken part in a week long fast to put pressure on the federal government to re-establish a program that was recognized as one of the best in the world.  The action will continue until June 2010 when a delegation will be sent to Ottawa to meet all of the political parties represented in Parliament.
