The Deets:
Fwd: The Wynne Government is making those on social assistance in Ontario poorer and preparing a major attack on disabled people on ODSP. At the same time, it has the audacity to hold yet another round of public consultations on ‘poverty reduction’.
This is not a Government with any progressive intentions with regard to poverty but, rather, it is implementing a regime of austerity in this Province. OCAP and allies within the Raise the Rates Campaign will be
picketing this event to expose the sham discussions taking place therein and to demand living income, the restoration of the vital Community Start Up and Maintenance Benefit (CSUMB) and no undermining of the rights and income of disabled people by merging ODSP with Ontario Works.
JOIN THE RAISE THE RATES PROVINCIAL WEEK OF ACTION OCTOBER 14 – 20: If your organization wants to hold an event or if you are interested in finding out how you can get involved, see more information here.
