Living with dignity shouldn’t be this hard, and it doesn’t have to be.

Poverty is not inevitable. On this day, we’re reminded that eradicating poverty means addressing its root causes, changing inequitable systems and policies, and ensuring that everyone in Canada can live free from deprivation and discrimination.

Yet, 45% of people in Canada are struggling to make ends meet. Rising costs continue to push people into difficult situations – and for those already facing intersectional disadvantage, these basic needs are becoming further out of reach.

Everyone has the right to an adequate standard of living: access to safe housing, nutritious food, healthcare, and the resources needed to live with dignity.

Indigenous women face murder rates 10x times higher than the national average. We all have a role to play in speaking out against this injustice. Together, we can, and must, do better.

We join people across Canada to reflect, to learn from the truths shared by all Indigenous peoples, and to take meaningful action toward reconciliation in our own lives, workplaces, and communities. #NDTR
