Hamilton ACORN
1031 Barton St East L8L 3E2 Hamilton, ON, Canada

This year’s ACORN fundraiser will be a little different, but COVID19 hasn’t stopped our leaders from organizing across Hamilton! This year has shown us how important it is for low to moderate income people to come together and fight for social and financial justice. Tickets are a sliding scale starting at $10. All proceeds go towards organizing and support our Defending our Homes campaign! ...

"This won’t do much for urban low-income Canadians: The idea is that better infrastructure and more choices for providers will bring costs down, but the plan still doesn’t directly address the issue of affordability for individuals" #InternetForAll https://acorncanada.org/toronto-star-five-reasons-trudeau%E
