expert fact

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.

secret tip

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.

Call-to-action summary:

The federal election campaign is over, and we have a new government. As a new Parliament kicks off, we must hit the ground running and continue to let them know that we – the people they represent – care about building a better world.

Earlier this month, Randeep Sarai was sworn in as Secretary of State (International Development). We are looking forward to working together with him to continue to build on Canada’s legacy of global leadership in fighting to end extreme poverty 🌍

People in Canada care about how we show up internationally and he needs to hear this from you! We need Secretary of State Sarai to be bold and:

  • champion education, especially in conflict settings, as Canada takes on the presidency of the #G7 next month,
  • continue to ambitiously support The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and global immunization to save millions of lives,
  • invest in scaling up equitable access to essential and cost-effective nutrition interventions for women and children globally, and
  • support tuberculosis research and development to end the world’s deadliest infectious disease threat – in Canada and the world

As the US and others scale back international assistance, Canada’s leadership is more critical than ever. We must continue supporting proven initiatives – in global health, education, and humanitarian response – that save lives, promote stability, and strengthen security in Canada and the world. Millions of lives and our shared future depend on it.

Because #ABetterWorld starts with Canada!
