Come get inspired and mobilized to help put poverty on the political agenda in our province. The General Meeting is your chance to learn about the coalition’s work and get engaged in the work to Make Poverty History.

“We need to see this consistent investment in actually ending poverty because we are spending all of this money managing poverty,” SPCW Executive Director Kehler said. A program like guaranteed income could help people out of poverty. #BasicIncome https://t.co/ZKiLFDkdsQ

[Basic Income Manitoba @BasicManitoba]

The 2023 Manitoba Child and Family Report Card recommends the immediately introduction of a Livable Basic Needs Benefit, which would transform EIA as a first step towards a basic income.

[Social Planning Wpg. @spcw1919]

"Targeted supports directed to the families most in need are what will protect households and the economy from the rising cost of living. Governments have the capacity to end child and family poverty. They simply need the political will to do so." @ecojosh

[Basic Income Manitoba @BasicManitoba]

“Child and family poverty is a [...] serious problem in MB. It affects more than one in five children. Manitoba data show that poverty damages the health, mental health and education outcomes of our children. How long will Manitobans tolerate this?" - Sid Frankel, board member

[Social Planning Wpg. @spcw1919]

Manitoba maintains highest the child poverty rate of all provinces in Canada. 64,670 children – more than one-in-five Manitoba children age 18 or under - live in poverty. Read our full report: https://t.co/aV45raajLV

"The root cause of many societal problems lies in our inability to address poverty. A universal basic income is a practical, sustainable and equitable solution that can meet many of the needs of the most vulnerable members of society." - Dr. Alan Katz https://t.co/VsQkRk47Fn

An extra $25 a month? That's not going to go far at all to pay for groceries, rent and bills. We need a Guaranteed Livable Income for Canada @Disability_WP @AShoutAbout @votelau @cafreeland @KPateontheHill @basicincomecdn @ubi_works @BasicManitoba
