use your voice on social media

Our #EndCovidEverywhere campaign this month focuses on the ACT-Accelerator (ACT-A) and the investments Canada needs to make to ensure everyone, everywhere has the diagnostic tools, vaccines, and medicines necessary to end COVID-19.

The ask: Canada must invest at least 1% of its COVID-19 response in new and additional aid towards an emergency global response to end the pandemic everywhere. A significant portion of this must go to global health agencies delivering on the ACT-Accelerator (ACT-A).

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global crisis demanding a global emergency response — because no one will be safe until this disease is defeated everywhere. Use your voice on social media and tag Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland (@cafreeland) to tell them that Canada must invest 1% of its COVID-19 response in new and additional aid towards a global response. Share your concern on the immediate humanitarian crisis caused by this pandemic and ask that Canada lead on mobilizing a rapid, coordinated global response to ensure that tests, treatments and vaccines are developed and distributed equitably around the world.
