The APC participates in direct action events such as sit-ins and squats[1] to protests closure of low-income housing projects and has garnered considerable attention with disruptive protests[2] centered around the 2010 Winter Olympics, to be held in Vancouver.

From the APC website:

The Anti-Poverty Committee is an organization of poor and working people, who fight for poor people, their rights and an end to poverty by any means necessary.[3]
