MAKE TRANSIT ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL

FRIDAY DECEMBER 7,  4 p.m. Toronto CITY HALL.

Poor and disabled people are tired of being unable to access transit. Come
to City Hall and demand public transportation be made public for all of
us. Right now, the TTC is too expensive, inaccessible and discriminatory.

On top of this, the city is threatening to take away transportation money
that people on Ontario Disability (ODSP) get when they volunteer.  The
City has also refused to raise volunteer transportation money to reflect
transit fare increases.  This means that everyone on welfare and
disability who get transportation money for volunteering will have to
cover the $9 a month increase to the Metro pass - money people on
assistance simply don't have.

This demonstration is organized by DAMN 2025, a group of disabled people
and supporters fighting for justice and dignity. To get involved e-mail
