Letters to the editor (LTEs) are one of the clearest ways to show Members of Parliament that their constituents are paying attention. Write an LTE this month urging Canada to defend decades of progress in 2026 by emphasizing the importance of international assistance to ensuring everyone, everywhere has the chance to thrive<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose one or more of these proven ways that international assistance makes our world better:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>closing gaps in healthcare for women and children,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fighting malnutrition,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>boosting research in vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthen access to quality education so all children can learn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Use key moments as hooks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the International Day of Education on January 24<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the World Economic Forum from January 19-23<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>International Development Week in the first week of February<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus your LTE on the importance of international assistance in Canada\u2019s broader foreign policy, including links to trade, security, and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A constructive, honest LTE communicates disappointment, encourages policymakers to raise ambition, and helps other readers understand why strong pledges matter for saving lives and strengthening global security. Public pressure like this is essential to push Canada to support women and children, invest in epidemic preparedness, and respond decisively to the global malnutrition crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to send your LTE to your local community papers for the best chance of being published!
