Sending on behalf of Anny Chen, Lead - Community Engaged Learning:

Hi MAHN students,

Thank you again for attending our Poverty Awareness practice workshop! We hope that your time spent with us has helped deepen your understanding of the challenges that people face when living in poverty.

EVALUATION FORM If you haven't yet, please complete the workshop evaluation formhttps://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=C92AT4wzTE6KFJBEaWL3uKT9EAh4Zo9CuPzub90mKdlUMlQzSVU1WU1NOFAxWEZWTVBDR0dFNVg0My4u by this weekend. This is the last required component for your attendance.

The survey has an opportunity to sign up to be on our newsletter, where we'll share future opportunities for community engagement and training in poverty awareness and EIA.

SUPPORT CIRCLE If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity, we encourage you to apply to be a volunteer advocate through our PACA Support Circlehttps://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=C92AT4wzTE6KFJBEaWL3uKT9EAh4Zo9CuPzub90mKdlUNTcxRzVXVlhGSTJRWkM3NjM0OTdEMzRMTS4u. The program runs Wednesday evenings, and we are looking for people to provide advocacy support to Andy.

RESOURCES We've attached our 'What We Can Do' document that shares individual, community, and structural actions you can take, as well as some of our favourite resources. Please take some time to review! I wanted to highlight Make Poverty History Manitoba in particular as they launched a new campaign advocating for a Livable Basic Benefit that would be portable, like Rent Assist.

We've also attached two resource presentations on EIA and NIHB benefits. Remember that it is important to go to source material to get the most up-to-date information!

All the best, Anny
