Help Fund The Fightback - Become An OCAP Sustainer
Submitted by ocap on Sun, 03/01/2009 - 15:13.Help Sustain OCAP!
Although OCAP operates on a very modest budget, with two organizers, the operation of a downtown Toronto office, and a multitude of related expenses, we only just manage to scrape by. We need a stable source of regular support that can keep us afloat.
You can become a sustainer who makes a donation each and every month and helps us keep doing the casework and organizing that we do. Every dollar you donate puts over $600 into the pockets of poor people.

The Fight Against Poverty Is Going To A New Level
Submitted by ocap on Tue, 12/16/2008 - 15:02.Please support OCAP's struggles in 2009
We have already started to take calls from laid off workers who don'tknow how to apply for EI or welfare. More and more people are calling us because they can't pay their rent and they face eviction. We are going into the worst economic crisis in generations and, while bailouts for the rich are readily available, the poor are going to have to fight for their survival in this crisis.
OCAP plans to go into action in 2009 to build a strong movement that can ensure that welfare offices don't turn away people in need, that a challenge to economic evictions is taken up, that workers, including those without status or on temporary work permits, are not exploited even more, that income support systems are strengthened, that 'economic stimulation' resources are allocated to meet the needs of communities, that poor people come out of this crisis united and stronger than ever.
