LIVESTREAM: Fighting Legislated Poverty - A Panel

Canada has left disabled people behind. Provincial support programs do anything but. The result is Legislated Poverty. Disabled advocates from across Ontario join this panel discussion on the ways in which people are fighting back.

Included in the discussion is a critique of Bill C22, a debate on tactics and an exploration of a way forward. Panels include: Rabia Khedr, Disability Without Poverty; Isabella Gamk, Toronto Mayoral candidate and activist, Kemal Ahmed, ONDP Disability Co-Chair and Accessibility Expert, and Christine Calvert, disabled activist and caregiver.
