300 To Live Campaign: Ask the government to make the $300 increase to PWD/IA rates permanent

June 19, 2020 by DABC

DABC has signed onto the 300ToLive Campaign’s open letter to Premier John Horgan and Minister Shane Simpson, asking the government to make the temporary $300 increase to income assistance and provincial disability assistance rates permanent.

This campaign arose from the work of disabled and neurodivergent people in Autistics United Canada (BC Chapters) and Vancouver Queer Spoon Share.
