I just signed the petition calling out Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland for trying to give people with disabilities in poverty just $200/month. Join me and let's raise it to $1000. #CDB #cdnpoli Disability Without Poverty Victor Lau 🧢☯️🃏🏴‍☠️🇨🇦♿️ act.leadnow.ca/CDB-1000/?sour…

The National Disability Network shares disappointment with the Canada Disability Benefit Act budget. Amounting to $200 per month and $6 per day for persons with disabilities. Read statement here: bit.ly/49ZxF3T #PWD #Humanrights #Budget2024 #Incomesecurity @disability_WP

The Liberal govt can say they delivered on their promise but it's being provided at such a low amount that it's an insult #Disabilitybenefit #Canada #Budget2024 #cdnpoli Disability Without Poverty Poverty Institute Victor Lau 🧢☯️🃏🏴‍☠️🇨🇦♿️

I’ve been working with Rabia and Michelle at Disability Without Poverty for several years now. We hoped for better but knew what would eventually be announced today. I can’t express how disappointed I am in a government that strung the disability community along for so long with hope

#Fact . The max benefit of $200/month is insulting to everyone who has worked for years on this policy. We expected much more. #Budget2024

The long-awaited Canada Disability Benefit is 'too little for too few,' says #Disability Without #Poverty . The #CDB will provide a maximum annual benefit of $2400 and a process of eligibility through the Disability Tax Credit quoimedia.com/disability-wit… via Disability Without Poverty QUOI Media

Ahead of today's #federalbudget announcement by Chrystia Freeland, #DailyBreadTO CEO Neil Hetherington & Rabia Khedr of Disability Without Poverty wrote a joint op-ed underscoring the support that the majority of Canadians have for a fully funded #Canada #Disability Benefit & it's urgency now. (1/2)

'Most Canadians agree that it’s long past time the federal government funded a #disability benefit,' they wrote. A recent survey by Angus Reid Institute found that 9 in 10 Canadians support a #federal disability benefit. Read the full op-ed here ➡️bit.ly/4aUwnbo #CDNPoli (2/2)

Leading up to the federal budget on Apr 16, #DailyBreadTO & over 40 other orgs continue to advocate for a fully funded #Canada #Disability Benefit. Angus Reid Institute released the results of a survey this week & found 9 in 10 Canadians support the CDB ➡️ bit.ly/3xujOFh RT

The majority of Canadians believe that a Canada Disability Benefit should be equal to the poverty line or higher, with 58% believing the Benefit should bring the incomes of people with disabilities above the poverty line.

The federal budget is an opportunity to demonstrate Canada's commitment to equality and support for women with disabilities. Let's call on the government to empower women in our communities by funding the Canada Disability Benefit. #30percent #FundTheBenefitNow #CDB

#EndDisabilityPoverty #FundTheBenefitNow

These alarming stats demonstrate just how desperately the #CDB is needed. Raise #PWD above the poverty line and stop forcing them to choose between a roof over their head, medication or food to eat. #FundTheBenefitNow

New Angus Reid poll finds 9 out of 10 Canadians (91%) support the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit .
