About

ODSP Action Coalition is a provincial, volunteer grassroots advocacy group led by people with disabilities on ODSP, with a network of valued allies, that advocates for improvements to the income and other supports available to people with disabilities. 

Note: ODSP Action Coalition possesses no special priority or privilege with regards to dealing with ODSP — so we can’t change anyone’s caseworker for instance — and we are neither able nor qualified to provide legal advice, one-on-one consultations or intervene in individual cases.

our MEETINGS ARE exclusive to members & trusted allies.

To become a member, please email us and include your name, city/region, whether you are an ODSP recipient, or part of another organization, and any other info you’d like to share.
