Olivia Chow – the fighter for Toronto we need!
And with 20,000+ members who live in the City of Toronto, OPSEU/SEFPO members’ votes can be critical in making that happen!
The June 26 mayoral by-election is our chance to elect a new progressive mayor who will stand up for working people and build a fairer more inclusive city for ALL of us – it’s what we need after 12 long years of underfunding and disrepair.
We’ve had enough of cuts to critical services, long wait times, increased user fees and a deepening crisis – from public transit, public health, EMS, affordable housing and emergency shelters, to libraries, parks, recreation programs and the TransformTO climate action plan.
Olivia is committed to fighting for:
- quality public services
- Affordable housing
- good jobs & workers’ rights
- local democracy
- a green & inclusive Toronto
Olivia has the momentum, the experience and the determination!
