Doug Ford says he's pro-worker. He is not. Under his government, WSIB settled FEWER THAN FIVE injured worker claims a year. But he returned billions to employers. #onpoli He's not pro-worker. Especially injured workers. God knows why any union would support him. Join us on Tuesday Feb 18 at 7 pm for a presentation on WSIB and how shamelessly it has taken critical funds away from injured workers through "deeming" and other manipulation, leaving them in desperate poverty. Lost homes. Lost careers. Lost lives. teapaw.org/i/spaces/1YqGooN…

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tremendous traction in our first few days with the PWD Action Group. My heart is in my throat! Our Facebook page and group were up for less than an hour and 25 people registered. facebook.com/share/g/1SJG7HF… facebook.com/share/19tvuTXTF… We have the support of 6 organizations and 2 candidates/politicians, and *1149* people who have committed to vote and vote with us so far. Zero budget. INCREDIBLE. All of these folks have come through outreach to our personal networks and communities. Thank you to everyone and please keep reaching out and submitting your numbers! AND IT IS JUST THE START. We have been given access to: - Communities with 200,000+ social media contacts - Organizations with a total of 280,000 members - Email lists of candidates and currently sitting politicians (not quantified yet) Outreach to these communities will start over the next few days. Our goal was to have 1000 by Friday. We hit that already. Can we get to 5000? Can we blow past that? 🙌🏻💙💙🙌🏻 Breakdown: Personal outreach, friends and family: 195 Social media and community: 152 Outreach to PWD contacts whom we have supported and their families: 683 (THANK YOU!!) Inbound support: 119 If everyone reached out and confirmed 5 people ... our numbers would climb organically and quickly. PLEASE CONSIDER making calls, talking to folks in your building, reaching out on social media. Next numbers update: Friday. The plan is the same: 1. Commit to vote 2. Commit to vote with this voting bloc 3. Convince 5 other people to do so and join one of our networks or social media accounts. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
