The math doesn’t work...

ODSP: $1,368/month

Average 1-bedroom rent in Ontario: $2,200+/month

That leaves a deficit of $832 before food, medication, transportation, or phone bills.

Every ONSBT appeal is about more than paperwork...

The stakes are survival !

New research from 3mpwrApp

We analyzed how structural barriers in ONSBT disability appeals can exclude vulnerable communities before the hearing even begins.

Key finding: many people are not denied because they are ineligible—they are excluded by the process.

New research from 3mpwrApp

We analyzed 13,798 Ontario Social Benefits Tribunal decisions from 2020–2026.

Our key finding: the public data reveals how the system works—but not whether it is fair.

I just received a scary letter dated FEB 13 from the #Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services informing me that my #ODSP payments are on hold because I did not provide proof of income for the previous month. Except I have a "thank you" message from my case worker dated FEB 3, for proof of income I submitted on JAN 30! I'm waiting for a call back to hopefully clear this up! Really hoping I don't have to appeal in writing!! 😟

☝️Hopefully that clarifies the poll. This is just an opening feel for interest. Lots to figure out, possibly something entirely novel to fit our unique circumstances.

I just know for myself I am fed up.

If gov't leaders continue to support a system that make it hard for me to exist, then I am gonna exist somewhere it will be emotionally and politically uncomfortable to do so. ✊🥄

Floating an exploratory balloon:
Who in #Ontario is interested in doing a spoonie sit-in protest this year?
Lots of logistics to sort out, we'd need lots of helpers - like rides, pillow nest portage, masking, snacks... But let's start w a quick poll.
(and feel free to brainstorm, discuss in the comments) Brand new idea here.
