Toronto Anti-Poverty, a non-partisan coalition of community organizations, trade union activists, community health providers and low income people, is building a September Day of Action for Wednesday September 26th. We will challenge all parties of the Provincial Government to immediately increase social assistance rates, immediately increase the minimum wage, build affordable/social housing now, and provide access without fear to government services for non-status people: Don't Ask/Don't Tell.

      Poor people in this province continue to grow poorer, and now struggle for basic survival. As a provincial election looms, we call on communities across Toronto to participate in a Day of Action on Wednesday, September 26th. Groups can organize their own actions on the day, targeting issues that affect them. Later that day, those smaller groups will join feeder marches to march on Queen's Park.

      We believe there is momentum right now for real change in Ontario, and want to build a broad movement across Toronto, with low-income people, students, trade unionists, community workers, faith groups and others. We invite you to join us in organizing the next steps to win real action on poverty.

Endorse Now & check the organizations that have endorsed to date. To contact  Toronto Anti-Poverty Coalition (TAP), the group organizing this day of action, send an email to torontoantipoverty@tao.ca
