Dignity for all – a new campaign for a poverty-free Canada – has just been launched by Canada Without Poverty and Citizens for Public Justice. The initiative, which is seeking endorsements from organizations and individuals across Canada, is calling for a federal plan to eliminate poverty; a federal anti-poverty act; and, increased federal investments in social security. Recent research from the Wellesley Institute, including our ground-breaking Poverty is making us sick study on income and health inequalities, shows the strong links between poverty and income inequality and poor health. We’ve also drawn the links between poverty and poor housing, which also leads to poor health outcomes.
