Send a Letter to the Premier to Fix Ontario Works Now!
Ontario Works rates are too low for people to live on. The low rates and punitive rules are a widespread problem for everyone in Ontario. We care about people on social assistance and we want the system fixed! Send a letter to the Premier and other policymakers to tell them it’s time to fix OW!
We advance the systemic interests and rights of low-income and equity-seeking communities and meaningfully support Indigenous Peoples and communities, with a focus on improving income security programs and ending low-wage precarious employment.
