Get on the Bus! Free!
Final Budget Showdown - Toronto VS Ford
Stop the Cuts Rally

TOMORROW! Tuesday January 17th 2012

Buses leaving Vari Hall at 4:15
Arriving at City Hall

Student and community organizations at York University are organizing
buses leaving Vari Hall to City Hall on Tuesday January 17. We encourage
students, faculty and workers to get on the bus to show their opposition
to the upcoming budget voted on by City Council Jan 17 – 19.

What’s the deal with the budget?

For the past year, students and workers have been told that an increase in
TTC fares and cuts to services was due to a $774 million deficit. There is
no longer a deficit, but a $154 million surplus! An evening rally and
action has been called by Stop the Cuts Toronto. Because these cuts will
impact students and workers at York, get on the bus to show your outrage
and demand that further cuts do not happen and that funding be re-instated
for the many programs already cut.

Get Involved! Get on the bus tomorrow! Or:
1.        Announce the bus and action to students in your classroom
2.        Help us table, poster and flyer by emailing opirg at yorku.ca
3.        If you can’t make it to the rally, go to
www.torontostopthecuts.com to
get information on your personal Ward City Counselor.

Organized by: CUPE 3903, Graduate Students Union-York, OPIRG-York,
