ONTARIO WIDE RAISE THE RATES WEEK OF ACTION
October 14th - 20th, 2013
* Restore Community Start-Up and Maintenance Benefit
* Stop the attacks on Disability benefits
* Raise the Rates 55%!
Plans are being made in a range of communities to hold local actions during the week of October 14 to challenge plans to merge Ontario Works and ODSP and demand real action on poverty from the Wynne, Liberal Government.
We will be demanding restoration of the Community Start Up and Maintenance Benefit, supporting the right of First Nations Communities to control delivery of social assistance programs and calling for the raising of the minimum wage in Ontario to $14 an hour and social assistance rates by at least 55%.
As more communities, anti poverty organizations, unions and other allies make plans for this week, a list of all the times and places where actions will be held during the week will be listed.
JOIN THE WEEK OF ACTION!
