Join us on election night to celebrate all the people and hard work that went into our bombastic 2026 COPE campaign!

COPE has been at the forefront of a movement for the working class people of Vancouver since 1968.  And we brought the fight once again this year, in a MASSIVE way.  With our incredible incumbent electeds, courageous candidates, legendary leadership team, stellar staff, 100s of valiant volunteers, and our divine donors, we showed up for Vancouver and offered a vision of a city led by values of care, community, and shared prosperity. 

On election day, let’s come together to recognize a battle well fought, celebrate our wins, and recommit our efforts to building our shared political project in the years ahead.

Food and alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase, snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.

Let us know if you can join us!
