Last year, some councillors tried to infringe on our Charter rights and freedoms by attempting to ban protests and pickets across the city.

The vote was close, but we organized and won. Help protect our Charter freedoms again: www.progresstoronto.ca/petition-pro...

Could restrictions on protests and pickets amount to a ban in nearly every neighbourhood?

A bylaw limiting our freedoms could affect communities across the city. Take action: www.progresstoronto.ca/petition-pro...

We're seeing unprecedented attacks on the freedom to protest south of the border, with protesters being arrested and deported. As we protect Canada’s sovereignty from Trump, we must also defend our Charter rights and freedoms.

In the 2025 Budget libraries are set to open 7 days per week at ALL branches across the city. Right now many libraries aren’t open on Sundays.

But conservatives want to keep libraries closed to save a buck.

For decades TTC fares have risen beyond inflation. Now we can freeze fares to save riders money and encourage more transit use.

But conservatives want to increase fares and balance the budget on the backs of riders. Take action against fare increases: www.progresstoronto.ca/no-cuts-no-f...

As families struggle to access food, conservatives want to cut school meals that would feed over 21,500 children.

These programs ensure students are fed, helping them learn. They also save families time and money.

Sign our petition to say no to cuts: www.progresstoronto.ca/no-cuts-no-f...

New shelter locations have been chosen based on need, access to transit and services, & other evidence.

Homelessness exists in every corner of Toronto. No neighbourhood should be “off limits” for shelters.

In addition to a warm bed, shelters can connect people with healthcare, community, and support to find permanent housing.

While we need more affordable and supportive housing, shelters are vital to tackling the homelessness crisis now.

A conservative organization will likely be funded by and serve the wealthy and well-connected. Meanwhile, Progress Toronto is fueled by thousands dedicated to building a more inclusive city.
