"Canada ‘needs a plan’ on poverty, says campaign group" by Sara Mojtehedzadeh, The Toronto Star
This plan was developed through an extensive process of community engagement by Dignity for All and presents the key planks of an anti-poverty plan that will make a meaningful difference in the lives of low-income people living in Canada, achieving greater prosperity and security for all.
The plan calls for the Federal Government to immediately take action to address both the immediate and long-term needs of the 1 in 7 Canadians who live in poverty.
Canadians care about poverty; it is no longer an issue that individual members of parliament can avoid.
Join us today and throughout this election year by sharing the plan with your networks on social media as well as with your local politicians and media outlets.
The campaign is planning our next steps and is open to invitations to provide workshops and training on how to use the plan in your community. Reply to this email for more info.
