We need YOUR help….to spread this campaign.

1) If you are an organization, share this information with your staff, families, partners etc

2)Send a copy of this ad (https://abilitiesmanitoba.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Free-Press-Final.pdf) via email with a quick personal note that this is important to you to: the Premier of Manitoba [email protected], the minister of Families: [email protected] and your own MLA (find your MLA here: https://www.gov.mb.ca/legislature/members/mla_list_constituency.html )

3) On social media, share this ad and ask your friends and contacts to share! Use the hashtag

4) If you have lived experience with disability, are a family member of someone who experiences disability, are a staff person or affected in any way – take a photo that is meaningful to you and share it on social media with the hashtag: and tag Abilities Manitoba (on Facebook and/or Twitter). You can also tag Premier Brian Pallister and the Minister of Families (Heather Stefanson )

Campaign Goal:
As we see many essential workers being compensated for their continued, selfless work during an unprecedented global pandemic, we continue to see Direct Support Workers who support people with an intellectual disability treated poorly, reflecting our society and our government's overall view of people with intellectual disability. The goal of this campaign is to help stabilize and secure the fragile disability sector workforce by implementing a $5/hour wage supplement for all Direct Support Workers working through Covid-19, and time and a half pay for anyone caring for someone who is Covid-19 positive.

Campaign:

The campaign is led by Abilities Manitoba and is endorsed and supported by the Family Advocacy Network, People First of Manitoba, The Alliance of Direct Support Professionals of Manitoba, Inclusion Winnipeg, Barrier-Free Manitoba, Community Living Manitoba and Disability Matters Vote.

Thank you for your help! Together we CAN make a difference!

Cornerstone Enterprises has decided to suspend employment and day program services after March 20,2020 until further notice.
We will do our part to flatten the curve.
Take care and we look forward to seeing everyone soon!
