If you're a student in Ontario, I hope you're already aware of this important action, but just in case...

On Thursday, November 5, Ontario students of all ages and levels will take to the streets and campuses, calling for a poverty-free province. This diverse coalition of concerned citizens is asking for:

Reduced Tuition Fees

Affordable Child Care

Public Housing

A Living Wage

Quality Public Health Care

Employment Equity

Raise in Social Assistance Rates

Fair Employment Insurance Rates

At the University of Toronto, the schedule is:
11:30 a.m. - free pancake breakfast outside Sid Smith [these organizers are smart!]
1:00 p.m. - meet up & rally at Sidney Smith Hall
2:00 p.m. - city-wide convergence and march, starting at Con Hall
4:00 p.m. - mass rally at Queen's Park

Turnout is expected to be massive. Be there!
