DJNO, @DisabilityPM, @ODSPAction & disabled organizers from around Ontario have put together a new post-election platform: EndAusterity.ca. Friends, this is bigger than any election. Enough is enough—30 years of austerity & social murder of disabled people needs to end.
Our placement student, David, is gathering reports, zines, flyers, toolkits, statements, and research from community groups across Hamilton to help create a 2025 State of the City report.
Please share and send literature to david@djno.ca

Support DJNO on ‘Giving Tuesday’ Friends, DJNO needs your support now more than ever. Our Communities need more support and we want to build structures to make that happen—on housing, home care, transit and social assistance—all areas we aren’t actually funded to work on.

Ontario has rammed this bill through the Legislature that:
- massively increases the balance of power in tenant law towards landlords.
- will lower notice for tenants and speed up the LTB—for landlords.

It’s National Housing Day! Accessible airborne-safe affordable housing is a human right. Bill 60 = housing disaster for privileged profit. It violates Treaties, UNDRIP, human rights, people & planet

Across the Metroland papers today, Brad writes about the silent crisis in housing: accessibility for disabled renters. And, friends, Bill 60's speeding up of evictions and limits on those owing arrears will only make things worse. Link in bio or tr.ee/b-M2MEhM8O

BILL 33 HAS PASSED.
It will:
- ⏫ Ministerial power over school boards, allowing for a Minister to override local democracy and decision-making.
- ⏫ Ministerial power to force schools and school boards to abide by political directives, like forcing police back into schools.

This week is another tough one as the Ontario Government wages war on the working class as the government moves to pass: Bill 25—which will give the MCCSS Minister the power to make political directives for social service agencies.
