STOP THE SPECIAL DIET CUT - RAISE WELFARE/ODSP RATES NOW!
Meal, Rally and Action: Fightback Against the Special Diet Cut!
Wednesday July 21
12 noon
Ministry of Community and Social Services, 900 Bay Street, Toronto

G20 leaders, the Federal Tories, and the Provincial Liberals think that they can offload deficits on to poor people by cutting funding to programs that we need and gutting the public sector. They are trying to force us to pay for a crisis we didn’t create. In the same way that we came together on June 25th – 27th, we can and must do it again as the government begins to implement austerity measures on the local level. We have to resist them every step of the way; when they say cutback – we say FIGHT BACK!

Get involved in July 21st: Contact OCAP to organize outreach in your neighborhood or to build for a bus or contingent on the day.

THE END OF POVERTY? 
– A feature length documentary film

Thur. July 22, 6:30 - 10 pm.
Hart House, East Common Room, U of T 

The End of Poverty? is a daring, thought-provoking and very timely documentary by
award-winning filmmaker, Philippe Diaz, revealing that poverty is not an accident.
It began with military conquest, slavery and colonization that resulted in the
seizure of land, minerals and forced labor. Today, global poverty has reached new
levels because of unfair debt, trade and tax policies -- in other words, wealthy
countries exploiting the weaknesses of poor, developing countries.

The End of Poverty? asks why today 20% of the planet's population uses 80% of its
resources and consumes 30% more than the planet can regenerate?
The film has been selected to over 25 international film festivals and will be
released in theatres in November 2009. Directed by Philippe Diaz, produced by Cinema
Libre Studio with the Robert Schalkenbach Foundation
