TUESDAY, JULY 7 at 10 am: URGE TORONTO CITY COUNCIL TO FIGHT POVERTY!
More than 150 people came to Toronto City Hall on June 30 demanding action on Poverty.
It worked.
Mayor John Tory and Executive Committee unanimously adopted an Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy that includes 74 actions to improve access to transit, jobs, income, housing, and child care.
On Tuesday, July 7, we need you to help fill Council chambers and demand that City Council approve the Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy and commit to real action and dedicated funding to reduce poverty starting with the 2016 city Budget.
Join us at 10:00 AM in the Council Chamber, City Hall, 100 Queen St West.
After the morning council meeting everyone is invited to join in a "Prosperity Picnic" with free food, drink and kids activities at 12:30 pm, in front of City Hall at the North West Corner of Queen and Bay (meet at the Pan Am Games Countdown clock).
Please join us!
