Nova Scotia's legislative session opens today and MLA's were greeting by protesters as they entered the house. It was organized by the group Permanent Accessible Dignified Safe Housing for All (PADS) and a coalition of worker, housing and anti-poverty advocates. Hailie Tattrie is a member of Justice for Workers. She describes how this came together, why they are optimistic and what they'd like to see come from this movement. As she says, they want to see anti-poverty action from the legislative members of the People's House. And as it turns out, government did make an announcement today about supporting vulnerable residents, just after the protest.
