Note:The event was quite successful and was able to shift all political parties to address this important issue.

OpenConcept is happy to have been involved in a small way with the Vote Out Poverty Campaign that is being geared for the upcoming provincial election. This is a critical issue and it is important that groups like the Ontario Coalition for Social Justice are working to raise this issue with candidates that are running to win a seat.

If you're in or around TO on October 1st, please consider heading to Massey Hall. There's a facebook event now where you can RSVP and invite your friends to come along. If you think others might be interested, please put up a copy of the poster your workplace.

With inspiring speakers like Stephen Lewis, Mary Walsh, and George Stroumboulopoulos it will be an educational and yet fun evening. The music of Susan Aglukark, The Nylons & The Hidden Cameras will also help make the day memorable.

OpenConcept has been working with Vote Out Poverty to organize lists of supporters into provincial ridings so that they can produce lists of supporters in each riding that are concerned with this issue. This has been done using postal code and our new Make the Change web service.
