Today we’re releasing our 2018 Election Action Plan. These are the wards we are working in to unseat some of Toronto’s worst councillors and get progressive candidates elected at the TDSB and city council. This is a long thread to roll it all out! progresstoronto.ca/campaign-2018-… #topoli

In the new term of council and the TDSB we need to organize to win key votes. This election matters to that work. To build a progressive city, we must unseat some of the most conservative politicians & get progressives elected so we can win council & school board votes. #topoli

We are choosing races where we can *make the difference*. Where we can help unseat some of the worst councillors by informing thousands of voters of their record & wards where we know we can deliver votes to help progressive candidates win. #topoli progresstoronto.ca/campaign-2018-…

In some wards, we can best help progressives win by focusing on work they can’t do — focussing on making sure residents know the voting records & conduct of the worst councillors. Join us in delivering flyers exposing some of the worst councillors: progresstoronto.ca/volunteer #topoli

By speaking to voters directly about the city’s worst councillors, we're making space for progressive candidates to introduce their vision to voters and not waste their time talking about councillors like Mammoliti & Grimes. We’re taking that on so they don’t have to. #topoli

In other wards, our role will be to get out the vote of the tens of thousands of progressive voters we have already identified through our work to stop Ford this summer. Would you like to help us? Sign up to volunteer at progresstoronto.ca/volunteer

To do all of this, we have registered with the city as a third party campaign. That means we have a $25,000 city-wide spending limit and only a few weeks to raise the money needed to help win in these key races. Chip in $15 today to help us win progresstoronto.ca/campaign2018 #topoli

In North Etobicoke, there's a terrible candidate running for TDSB trustee whose name made headlines. Let’s not give him a platform. Instead check out two incredible candidates running @Abdulle2018 & Ali Mohamed-Ali. Consider supporting their campaigns:

In Etobicoke Lakeshore swing polls, we are delivering thousands of flyers that tell voters why Mark Grimes should not be re-elected. Check out our Etobicoke—Lakeshore action plan and our round up of what makes Grimes one of the worst councillors progresstoronto.ca/campaign-2018-… #topoli

Over the last week Progress Toronto volunteers have delivered almost 5,000 flyers about Mark Grimes record to houses in Etobicoke Lakeshore. We have thousands of households left. Want to join us for our next flyer drop? progresstoronto.ca/volunteer #topoli

Over the last week our volunteers phoned over 2,000 people in Etobicoke Lakeshore to tell them why Amber is the best candidate for South Etobicoke & to get her supporters ready to vote Morley on Oct22. Join us at our next phone bank for Amber: progresstoronto.ca/volunteer #topoli

We’re encouraging Eglinton Lawrence to vote for Dyanoosh Youssefi. @DyanooshY almost won the ward in 2014 and we love how she fearlessly stood up for Toronto taking Ford to court to fight Bill 5. Find out more, donate, & volunteer with Dyanoosh:
