Space is about the UN complaint process & @caseXpoverty

[Case Against Poverty @caseXpoverty]

@ODSPoor @DylanLineger While October 17th is a symbolic day, there is no deadline. The UN Human Rights Complaint is an open process and can be done any time. If you would like help with your complaint, feel free to DM the campaign.

[Case Against Poverty @caseXpoverty]

@ODSPoor @DylanLineger As discussed, a complaint can be done with as little as 3 paragraphs.
1. Introduction and what the complaint is.
2. The what happened and any evidence/witnesses.
3. Remedy, what you need from Canada.
Note: This UN process is ringing the alarm bell. They can't fix it directly.

In recognition of the 17th being International Day to Eliminate #Poverty, join Case Against Poverty's live Twitter space on October 15th at 7 pm EST to learn how to file a #UN Human Rights Council complaint from anywhere in #Canada.

We will cover how to word it, who and where to send it, what uses the letter has after filing and a brief overview of our organization. Our guest is Dylan who gained a lot of experience with tribunals and appeals work as a union activist while working at the Ontario Disability Support Program #ODSP.

Please bring any questions to the live space and we will address them during the event.

Set a reminder for our upcoming Space!
