Raise the Rate for Good

Raise the Rate for Good

Send my email

Everyone should have enough to cover the basics. But right now, the low rate of income support is forcing people to make heartbreaking decisions between paying their rent and buying food and medicine.

If we're going to secure an increase to income support payments, we need to show our politicians the reality of struggling to get by on the low rate, and demonstrate public support for action.

That's why our communiuty consistently floods our political respresentatives with emails, sharing personal stories, and urging them to raise the rate. Can you use our tool to email your MP?
