Grateful for the opportunity to speak yesterday to the All-Party Anti-Poverty Caucus about people's lived experiences of poverty in Canada. Income transfers must be adequate and eligibility barriers must be removed to honour the human rights of all people living in Canada.

#FoodInsecurity is a violation of human rights
Food insecurity is higher for ppl who are Indigenous, racialized, have precarious immigration status, and intensify for ppl w/ intersecting forms of oppression such for 2SLGBTQ+, disabled, women, seniors, and young adults.
New data:
24.8% of bisexual people and 13.3% gay or lesbian individuals experienced food insecurity in their household in the previous 12 months, compared to 8.5% of heterosexual people.

We love to see local solutions for Indigenous food sovereignty!

1 of 4 #ChewOnThis recommendations for addressing poverty & #FoodInsecurity is #StatusforAll
Many people w/ precarious status cannot access fair wages, Gov benefits, or even food banks
For our Backgrounder and key recc's on food insecurity in Canada > dignityforall.ca/wp-content/…
You are paying 10.9% more for food at the grocery store than you did a year ago. But migrants who feed you aren't seeing any of the profit. Remember this next time they say #StatusforAll or higher wages for workers will result in higher prices.
