WHY ME?
VANCOUVER DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY
Instead for a city for the rich, we can fight for climate justice, affordable housing for all, improved public services, and fight back against billionaires.
I am Dr. Devyani Singh, a climate scientist, renter, immigrant, and part of the 99%!
As a Renter, I can tell you that the Rent is too Damn High! We need rent control AND Vacancy Control in the city. And yes, increase the empty homes tax.
As a climate scientist, it hurts me to see the cuts to climate resilience in this city under Ken Sim and ABC. Climate justice is social justice: climate change impacts the marginalized the most. We need cooling standards, improved SROs, Free transit, AAA bike lanes, and much more.
As the 99%, I understand the need for affordable housing and access to public services. This includes supporting our libraries, limiting fees for access to public parks and community centers, improved and cheaper Transit, mansion tax, just to name a few motions I will bring to Council when elected.
As a scientist, I embrace facts, not political ideology, and listen to voices that matter. Your voice matters! Politicians have repeatedly ignored the 99% and supported their billionaire buddies. It is time that changed, and I would Like the honour to represent you on City Council in 2026.
But first, I need your help in winning the COPE Nomination to run in 2026. For that I need your support to sign up as a member
Instead of a Vancouver that’s a playground for billionaires — we can have a city that’s on the side of the people.
Instead of rising homelessness, tent cities, and overdoses — we can have a solidarity city where every person matters.
Instead of a housing market that evicts us, exploits us, and beats us down — we can fight for permanently affordable housing in every neighbourhood.
COPE always fights for people and has been fighting for the 99% since 1968. That’s how COPE has won big victories both in and out of office, like the first rent control (1968), the Empty Homes Tax (2017), Free Transit for Kids (2021), and Vacancy Control for SROs (2024).
