It’s a great opportunity to connect with other volunteers while taking action on our #YesWeCanEndTB campaign.
Your actions in September will be our last opportunity to influence how Canada shows up at the United Nations High-Level Meeting on TB this September.
to go above and beyond, invite your MP to meet you at your event and take photos.
Results is independent from corporate funding or government donations. October 17 – International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (IDEP) – is a globally recognized day to stand in solidarity with those living in extreme poverty. A most impactful way to support Results Canada is creating your own personal fundraising page.
Fundraising is a great skill to have as an advocate. Just be yourself, communicate why this is important to you and do not be afraid to ask for donations: you will never know the answer if you don’t ask!
The beauty of being part of the Results Canada volunteer network is that you are never alone: reach out to Results volunteers – especially those nearby as you can walk together, cook, etc.
Write an LTE if you want to make your opinion heard in a timely manner. You don’t need a lot of research, and your LTE can be brief and to-the-point - just 150-200 words! When time is of the essence, choose to write an LTE.
Once submitted, you can track your letter by doing an internet search of your name and following up with the publication to find out if/when it is getting published.
Your letter doesn’t have to be perfect, and you don’t have to be an expert to have an opinion. You simply need to care.
Use your voice on social media to tell Canada why they need to TB and the need to increase investments in research and development for TB.
Tweets with images can receive approximately 160% more retweets than those without.
When posting on social media, be genuine and speak from the heart. People want to connect with other human beings online, so be yourself and it'll help you get your message across!
