Tenants Vote 2010

Details

In the last 5 years we’ve petitioned, we’ve picketed, and we’ve organized.

But the next 16 months leading up the municipal election are going to decide whether Toronto City Council is interested in improving standards for tenants or simply letting the status quo remain.

Today, Toronto ACORN is announcing a plan to escalate this campaign.

In the coming months every City Councilor will have a chance to vote on an ACORN-backed proposal to levy a fee on large landlords to fund pro-active apartment inspections.

Toronto ACORN is pledging to use this vote as a yardstick to identify a number of key ridings to run aggressive campaigns to increase the tenant voter turnout by 25% in support of councilors or candidates who support tenants.

But we need our supporters online to send a message to council and let them know we’re serious. Can you help? (Just click the link below)

About

ACORN Canada is an independent national organization of low and moderate income families.

With 40,000+ members organized into 20+ neighbourhood chapters in 7 cities across Canada we've been organizing to win a Canada where low and moderate income families have their voices heard and their power felt since 2004.

We believe that transforming the conditions that adversely affect millions of Canadians can best be achieved with a national active membership who are deeply invested in their organization and focused on lasting socio-economic change.
