This holiday season, we need the government to have our backs
In 2020, the government did the right thing and raised income support above the poverty line. Though it was brief, the impact was huge. It gave so many in our community the chance to catch their breath from the constant struggle of trying to survive on income support.
This holiday season, we ask that the government give us that opportunity again. We don’t want a handout, a gift or a temporary relief – we want an investment in the resilience of our community and the strength of our determination.
We want to hear from you. What would you be able to do this holiday season if the government lifted the base rate of income support above the poverty line, to $69 a day?
