January 21st - Welfare and ODSP
Speakers: AJ Withers and John Clarke
- Why is social assistance designed the way it is?
- Why do we need to raise the rates?
- How can you get everything you can out of OW and ODSP?

Starting January 21st, join OCAP for a new, free speaking series on a bunch of topics central to organizing around poor people's issues! A new topic will be presented every month and all events are open to the public. Come on out, invite your friends and please share widely!

Our first event in this new series will be on the welfare and disability system and is presented by A.J. Withers and John Clarke. AJ and John will explore questions like why is social assistance designed and implemented the way it is, why we need an immediate raise in social assistance rates and how can you get everything you're entitled to from OW/ODSP, all topics that OCAP has some expertise with.

This is sure to be an exciting kick-off to a new series, so please attend, invite your friends and share widely!
