Enough Is Enough Weekly Update #4
The countdown is on. There is less than two weeks to go until we take to the streets to say: “Enough is enough!”
On Saturday, June 3, there will be over two dozen actions across the province to demand real solutions to the cost-of-living and health care crises. Find an action near you!
Will you forward this update to three friends to help ensure our voices are heard on June 3?
Here’s a reminder of what we’re fighting for:
- Real wage increases.
- Keep schools and health care public.
- Affordable groceries, gas, and basic goods.
- Rent control and affordable housing.
- Make the banks and corporations pay.
Let us know you’ll be there by RSVPing here.
Fighting the cost-of-living crisis means supporting workers wherever they’re fighting for a better life. Here’s where workers need your support:
