People living on social assistance have been legislated into poverty, housing insecurity, and hunger. This crisis is a choice that people in power have made. It’s time to make a different choice.
Social assistance recipients, social service workers, grassroots organizations, anti-poverty advocates, and organized labour have come together to advocate for a more just, equitable, and caring society. That begins with our one single demand: at least double OW and ODSP rates and commit to ongoing cost of living increases.
