dignity for all:
the campaign for a poverty-free Canada

Everyone has a right to live life with dignity

The Dignity for All Campaign calls for vigorous and sustained action by the federal government to combat the structural causes of poverty in Canada. We want:

  • A federal plan for poverty elimination that complements provincial and territorial plans.
  • A federal anti-poverty Act that ensures enduring federal commitment and accountability for results.
  • Sufficient federal investment in social security for all Canadians.

Together, we can eliminate poverty in Canada!
