DJNO, @DisabilityPM, @ODSPAction & disabled organizers from around Ontario have put together a new post-election platform: EndAusterity.ca. Friends, this is bigger than any election. Enough is enough—30 years of austerity & social murder of disabled people needs to end.

We stand with our allies @HousingRightsCA, @DJNO, @DisabilityPM, @RTRCoalition & countless others condemning the @fordnation govt's use of the #NotWithstandingClause to strip away human rights of our province's most vulnerable residents! What we need first is #AffordableHousing!
We are deeply concerned by the Government of Ontario's potential use of the "notwithstanding clause" to evict encampment residents and bypass their protected human rights. These residents are some of the most marginalized people in our society, and this action by the Ontario government would make their already dire predicament worse. We're joining a growing group of over 70 Ontario Councillors, hundreds of members of the legal community, and thousands of members of the public in calling on ALL of our governments to focus their efforts on finding solutions that meet the needs of people experiencing homelessness, while respecting their rights and dignity - NOT denying them through the notwithstanding clause.

Last week, the DJNO team came together for Toronto Disability Pride March (@DisabilityPM)! It was great to be together with our community for a march that defies the tropes of corporate Disability inclusion, stands strong for Palestine & for actual Disability Justice principles.

Only having MAID as a choice because ODSP is not enough to live on is disgusting. Doug Ford has had 4 long years to make improvements and instead froze any increases to ODSP after halving the proposed Liberal 3% increase in 2018. #VoteFordOut2022 #onpoli ctvnews.ca/health/woman-with…

#ODSP payments are $14k a year below the poverty line of Toronto? With rising costs & inflation at 5.4%, how are people supposed to survive?It is time for a change! #FairShake #YourMoveOntario #RaiseTheRates @ScioAdvocacy @DS_XUniversity @CIL_Toronto @ODSPAction @JoelHardenONDP
#DisabilityPoverty in Canada is structural, a legislated choice our society makes. Federal #Budget2022 is just more proof that it’s still left to disabled folks to keep demanding it be dismantled. #CanadaDisabilityBenefit

Vast majority of #ODSP clients are unable to 'get a job'. Disability doesn't adhere to a schedule Funneling $$ to foodbanks & shelters doesn't help pay the rent every month. Pandemic, runaway inflation, housing crisis & rates STILL frozen. Own 5 cars? Here's $1k 😕 @fordnation
Premier Ford when asked if he'll raise ODSP rates: "That's an opportunity to sit down & discuss, for the people unable to work I will always be there to support them but for people able to work the best way to support them is get them a job" (Q asked for me by @QPCamera)#onpoli
