Every Ontarian deserves access to mental health and addictions services. Our members who work at consumption treatment sites save lives every day often working with the most vulnerable and marginalized folks. Today’s announcement from the Ford government must be reversed.

Our life experiences shape the way we show up in the world. It's stories like @NasYadollahi’s that motivate activists to fight for life affirming public services that make the city more equitable and safe.
Twenty years ago my life changed- my brother Soroush became the city’s second homicide victim of 2004. As we prepare for the City budget, let’s choose to invest in communities- in public services and in the workers who deliver them to keep Toronto safe. https://t.co/SlvubZWycu
