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.
Raise EIA during COVID-19
Basic needs are essential at all times, especially during a crisis, that’s why we are calling for an immediate increase to the EIA budget by $300 per person, per month for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.
