SEAN ORR

BY-ELECTION CAMPAIGN LAUNCH

In both the U.S. and Canada, billionaires and the corporate elite are using the chaos of Trump's threats to accelerate their assault on democracy, public services, and environmental protections.

Here in Vancouver the upcoming City Council by-election gives us a chance to fight back - and win. Sean Orr is running with the Coalition of Progressive Electors to take on the billionaire class and the local establishment.

This political revolution kicked off in East Van at the WISE Hall on February 12. Members of the DSoV were there!

What is a by-election

A by-election is held to fill vacancies on City Council, Park Board, or School Board that occur between general elections.

By-elections are a rare and important part of the democratic process. In the City of Vancouver's 138-year history, only 17 by-elections have been held, with the most recent in 2017.
