Food insecurity is a “widespread, severe” issue for disabled people, with rising costs a “significant” challenge, according to evidence to an inquiry just as the govt released a report on disability benefit reform.

Living on disability support is state-sanctioned deep poverty. When your check doesn't cover average rent, you must choose between housing, food, or meds. We aren't surviving; we are being priced out of existence. Please share to expose this crisis.

9/10 The bigger picture reveals systemic neglect. Canada spent $6.1 billion over six years on a program that barely scratches disability poverty's surface while creating maximum bureaucratic friction for those most vulnerable and least able to navigate systems.

Really need the boosting of this. We had bills carry over from last month. And we are cutting lots of corners for living but everything helps. Rent is good, its utilities and survival that is in need. #MutualAidRequest #DisabilityPoverty #HelpPeopleSurvive 💕

Being disabled in Ontario shouldn't mean a life sentence of poverty. Max ODSP is $1408/mo. After rent, there is nothing left for food or meds. I didn’t choose to be sick, and I didn't choose to starve. We need real support, not table scraps. #ODSP #DisabilityPoverty

This is from three years ago and sadly it is a global message.
Change has been slow—too slow. We must keep moving forward, if not for ourselves, then for the generations who will follow us.
