Disability Without Poverty (DWP) began when advocates across the country came together to work on eliminating disability poverty. Their work was immediately focused on the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) introduced in the 2020 Throne Speech as part of the government’s Disability Inclusion Action Plan.

It has for mission to build a movement that lifts people with disabilities out of poverty in Canada by mobilizing grassroots power, working with government and securing public support for ending disability poverty.
