The Real Issue

About The Real Issue:

"It’s time to take action on the real issue. Poverty. Did you know that 1 in 5 children born in London, Ontario live in poverty? And that 17% of all Londoners live in poverty and struggle to make ends meet? These people are our neighbours, our employees, our work colleagues, our friends, our families. It’s time to take a stand to end poverty. To take action. This is the real issue. Get involved.

We need all Londoners to actively get involved in working to end poverty. Each action that is taken by an individual or workplace moves us one step closer to our goal of reducing the proportion of London families who are living in poverty by 25% in 5 years and by 50% in 10 years.

There are 3 ways that you can get involved. Through actions, advocacy or by changing the conversation."
