On Wednesday, September 26, a broad coalition of community organizations, trade unions, health providers, students and low income people will be challenging Queen's Park to increase social assistance rates, raise the minimum wage and build affordable/social housing.

· $10 minimum wage now

· A 40% increase in social assistance rates

· New affordable housing to be built in Ontario

· Access without fear to government services for non-status people. Don't Ask/Don't Tell.

Join the fight for a decent income. The Ontario Liberal Government, which was elected on a platform of change, has done little to reverse the Tories' anti-poor agenda. Before the provincial election, rally and demonstrate to demand accountability from the Provincial Government and those who might follow them.
