3rd Solidarity Against Austerity Rally and March
As we head into another round of provincial elections in the spring, we will not be swayed by fake gestures and empty rhetoric from any politicians. We demand:
*A $14/h minimum wage fully indexed to inflation!
*A 55% + increase to social assistance rates!
*Restore the Special Diet and Community Start Up Benefits!
*No merger of OW and ODSP, stop the attack on Disability benefits!
*First Nations control of ODSP in their communities!
Join us in building a powerful solidarity event against austerity measures
Tuesday, March 25th, 11:30 am – 1:30 pm
· Free Pizza Meal and Rally with music; speakers on struggles of the union movement, First Nations, students and other community groups
· March through downtown
This event is organised under the banner of the Raise the Rates Campaign by the Sudbury Coalition Against Poverty and supported by the Sudbury and District Labour Council and the Public Services Alliance of Canada (PSAC).

The Sudbury working-group of The Media Co-op was formed to create independent media in the North, to speak to our issues and outlooks on our communities as well as the world around us. Independent media provides an avenue for people who are wishing to gain critical perspective on the issues that matter most to us, and to give a voice to those people and stories that you won't find in the mainstream media.
