Call-to-action summary: 

Investments in nutrition and food aid are a lifesaving priority during humanitarian crises like war, famine, and natural disasters, where disruptions to food and basic services threaten people’s lives, health, and long-term development. The upcoming 2026 budget is a crucial opportunity for Canada to invest in our world, rather than turn its back on those left behind. It’s time for our government to lead with courage, not retreat. Canadian decision-makers need to hear it clearly: people across Canada want to stop the cuts to international aid.

read full call-to-action

Since our Members of Parliament (MPs) work for us, it’s important to let them know people in Canada care about international aid so they can reflect this value in Budget 2026.

If you haven’t emailed the Minister of Finance yet, there’s still time! In October, we’re continuing to ask our advocates to email the Minister of Finance François-Philippe Champagne to let him know that you don’t want international aid to be cut in Budget 2026. Make sure to copy your MP on the email, too!

not sure what to write?

Check out our key messages and case studies in our budget toolkit, which gives you all the information you need to tell your MP why the government should stop cutting international aid in budget 2026.
