Double ODSP/OW – Ontario Provincial Day of Action

Join ACORN members for the Ontario Day of Action on Tuesday, September 16th to demand that the Provincial government raise social assistance rates and end legislated poverty.

👉 People on Ontario Works (OW) receive just $733/month.
👉 A single person on the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) can receive a max of $1,368/month.

That’s up to 60% below the poverty line - SHAME!

This is unacceptable. ACORN is fighting for:

1️⃣ Doubling ODSP/OW rates
2️⃣ Indexing rates to inflation permanently
3️⃣ Matching housing allowance to market rent by city
4️⃣ Ending spousal income and benefits clawbacks
5️⃣ Stopping the Province’s harmful “New Vision” for social assistance

✊ Come stand with people with disabilities and low-income Ontarians to demand dignity and justice. Together we can win!

📍 LOCAL ACTION DETAILS:

TORONTO - 1PM at the ODSP & OW office located at111 Wellesley St E
OTTAWA - 11am outside the OW office at 2020 Walkley Rd
