What should the Manitoba government do to end poverty?
A provincial election will be called within the year. What do you want to see our coalition push candidates to commit to? Please join us on Feb 7 or 9 to participate in our community consultation process as we determine what to focus on in the lead up to the next election.
Make Poverty History Manitoba (MPHM) is a multi-sector collaborative coalition - representing Indigenous, newcomer, labour, women, 2SLGBTQ*, disability, business, education, student, youth, urban, rural, and northern communities.
Our coalition is committed to changing public policy to achieve a Manitoba without poverty.
Our efforts are primarily directed at the provincial and municipal level.
Celebrating a small win
Let’s take a moment to celebrate a small win: this summer, the Manitoba provincial government announced a Family Affordability Package which includes an increase to the Basic Needs Benefit for EIA recipients.
Urgent Action Needed to Protect Renters in Manitoba
COVID 19 is disproportionately impacting people living with low incomes and without housing. Help support these community members now by telling the Manitoba government to take action.
Livable Basic Needs Benefit
Manitobans deserve help meeting essential needs, especially when they're affected by poverty. Our campaign calls on the provincial government to introduce a new Livable Basic Needs Benefit, replacing the existing Employment and Income Assistance (EIA) benefit.
