Attwell Welfare Action

As a lead up to the November 5th Campaign for a Poverty Free Ontario
Province-Wide Day of Action, OCAP, Jane Finch Action Against Poverty
and a number of people on social assistance will be conducting 2 mass
case actions on October 23rd at two of the most notoriously bad welfare
offices Toronto: Atwell and Wilson.

Today, more people than ever are being forced to live on welfare in
Ontario. They face two major problems. First of all, the income they
receive does not let them pay their rent and feed their families
properly. Secondly, welfare offices like Atwell and Willson do all they
can to deny even the small benefits people are supposed to get. When
they apply for Special Diet, Community Start Up and other benefits,
they are denied their rights. This must stop.

Atwell:
12.30 PM
North East Corner of Atwell and Dixon
Coming from downtown: meet inside Kipling Station at 11:45am (tokens provided)
