    Go to gallery -> Raise the Rates Rally
    People from across Ontario rallied to demand a raise to social assistance and disability support rates. Rates would need to rise 55% to meet the level provided before the Harris 1995 cuts, which even then did not meet poverty levels in Canada.

    On December 8th, OAITH invited Ontario political parties to meet with us and promise to hear our ideas for their party platforms in the upcoming October 6, 2011 provincial election. The event was held in the Main Legislature Building at Queen's Park. We marked December 6 and the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence, which ends on December 10th, Human Rights Day. Women and children murdered in Ontario in 2010 and over the past 20 years were honoured in this annual event.

    The Toronto Take Back the Dyke March was organized to take place at the same time as the traditional Dyke March on July 3, 2010 to protest the decision by the Toronto Pride Committee to ban the use of the term "Israeli Apartheid" at Pride events. Pride rescinded the ban in the face of massive opposition from the community, but Take Back the Dyke went ahead as planned.

    To remember women and children murdered in Ontario, OAITH sponsored an event at Queen's Park on November 26, 2009.
