Tent City for Change (TC4C) was formed in October 2023 in response to a protest that was started by people in St. John's living in the dirty, dangerous, and demeaning shelters. The protestors maintained an occupation of Bannerman Park for 6 months before being destroyed by the police in May 2024.
Since the sweep, a small team have remained in contact with homeless people in the St. John's area and supported them by supplying tents and tarps, financing damage deposits for new apartments and emergencies, organizing social events such as BBQs at Bannerman Park, and empowering people to speak up and speak out about the deplorable conditions they face.
Your donation will primarily go to tents and tarps. The NL climate wreaks havoc on these items and they are constantly destroyed by police and residents who find them. They may also be used for emergencies. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out.
Every little bit helps! Thank you to all who contribute!
