You are invited to attend Make Poverty History Manitoba's campaign launch! All are welcome.

Make Poverty History Manitoba is asking the Province to take two concrete actions as part of Budget 2017 that will help end poverty in Manitoba.

1. Develop a comprehensive poverty reduction strategy in consultation with community members, including targets and timelines for poverty reduction.
2. Increase the Employment and Income Assistance (EIA) basic needs budget of Manitobans living in the deepest poverty by creating a portable benefit that will raise the total incomes of all Manitobans on and off of EIA to at least 75 per cent of the the poverty line.
