FACING THE CRISIS: We Didn't Create It - We Won't Pay for It!

FREE MEAL AND RALLY: Defend the Special Diet! Raise the Rates Now!

DATE: Tuesday, March 24, 2009
TIME: 11am
LOCATION: City Hall (Bay and Queen)

Food banks, shelters, EI offices and welfare offices are bursting at their seams. There isn't enough food or shelter for poor people. People are going hungry every day in this city. As layoffs rise hunger will only increase. The number of people on social assistance in the city jumped 13% -- or 10,000 more people -- last month. Only 3 in 10 workers in Toronto get EI if they lose their jobs. The other 70% of unemployed workers will almost all end up on welfare but welfare payments are too low to pay for both food and rent. These alarming figures mean that every month in Toronto more and more people are going hungry, and becoming homeless.

Toronto Anarchist Gathering
Saturday, April 4th
10-5pm, Steelworkers Hall (25 Cecil St.)

It’s time for us to gather. To meet up and to stare at each other. To bring together folks who secretly or not so secretly identify with anarchism. It will be a smorgasbord of anarchism-related groups and activities. It will be quick and dirty. And its happening soon.

We need your help.

We’re writing to invite you to participate in a day of fun and anarchy at the Toronto Anarchist Gathering on April 4th. This will be a space for a wide variety of anarchist individuals, radical political groups, and anti-authoritarian organizations to come together, meet, greet, educate, skill-share, and hear about each other’s projects and plans.
