Stop Ford Fund

In his first year as Premier, Doug Ford has been obsessed with dismantling our city. While many of us work to build an affordable and just city, Doug Ford is working hard to tear it all down.

Every step of the way Progress Toronto has been helping people fight back against these cuts. We’ve been helping people contact their MPPs, focusing on areas of the city represented by Ford’s Conservative MPPs to build pressure against the cuts.

We need your help to fund the tools we use to fight back against Doug Ford and win. Will you give $5 monthly until Doug Ford isn’t a threat to our city anymore?

It’s working. Ford even paused his own cuts to public health, child care, and EMS in 2019 after we helped over 15,000 people voice their opposition to the cuts.

Chip in to the Stop Ford Fund

We need your help to fund the tools we use to fight back against Doug Ford and win. In the first year since Ford’s election, we’ve had key wins on public health, and pushed City Council to stand up for Toronto, and the momentum is on our side.

Will you give $5/month to the Stop Ford Fund until Doug Ford isn’t a threat to Toronto anymore?

If you can’t give monthly, please consider a one-time contribution to help us stand up for Toronto and take on Doug Ford’s cuts.

By chipping in, you’re helping us cover the basics like clipboards, flyers, online petition tools, social media ads, our phone bank, and more. Knowing we can cover these costs allows us to be nimble and launch new campaigns to advocate for our city.

People across our city are coming together, and it’s working. It won’t happen instantly, but if enough of us put pressure on Ford and Conservative MPPs, we can win.

How We’re Stopping Ford

  • Stopping the Massive Cuts to Public Health: Progress Toronto helped 15,000 people send a message to Ford and Members of Provincial Parliament. Our online tool, phone patch-throughs, and door-knocking put pressure on Ford and Conservative MPPs - and it worked. Ford reversed his cuts to public health for 2019.

  • Stopping the Cuts to Education: Progress Toronto is knocking on doors and making calls every week to talk to people about Ford’s devastating cuts to education. Over 8,500 people have used our tools to send a message to Ford and their MPPs - and we’re still going. We’re keeping the pressure on to stop the cuts to education.

  • Demanding City Council stand up for Toronto and fight Ford’s transit takeover: 7,500 people used our tools to send a message to Mayor Tory and City Council to stand up for Toronto’s transit system - and it worked. City Council took a stand and is fighting Ford’s attempt to takeover our subway and transit planning.

When people come together and take action, we win. Progress Toronto helps make it easy for people to contact their elected representatives, to volunteer in their communities, and to be a part of the fight to stand up for Toronto and stop Doug Ford.
