Support Dignity for All

Home » Get Involved » Support Dignity for All

Do you believe:

  • That freedom from poverty is a human right?
  • That there should be equality among all Canadians?
  • That all Canadians are entitled to social and economic security?

If YES, then endorse Dignity for All: the campaign for a poverty-free Canada.

This is a multi-partner, non-partisan campaign that is pushing for federal government commitment and action to address poverty in Canada. The three campaign objectives are:

  • A federal plan to eliminate poverty in Canada that complements provincial and territorial plans.
  • A federal anti-poverty Act, such as Bill C-233 ,An Act to Eliminate Poverty in Canada (formerly introduced as Bill C-545), which would ensure enduring federal commitment and accountability for results.
  • Sufficient federal investment in social security for all Canadians.

Parliamentarians, unions, organizations, faith groups and individuals have already joined, sending a strong message of support to address rising inequity in this country.
