Ontarians can’t wait! Fix OW Now!
For the sixth year in a row, Ontario Works rates and exemptions have remained the same, at $733 per month or less for individuals. This is absolutely unacceptable! Send a letter to your MPP letting them know that you want to see OW rates increased immediately.
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.
