Hamilton ACORN and allies fight for a Just Recovery!
Posted February 1, 2023
On February 1st, the Just Recovery Coalition released our new report with recommendations for the City of Hamilton to pass a budget that addresses the social and financial justice issues facing Hamilton.
Stoney Creek chair Liz Scott represented ACORN and spoke about what members want to see prioritized this Council term – expansion and improvements to the Tenant Defense Fund, city wide landlord licensing program, max heat bylaw and municipal action on the digital divide!
