The climate crisis is here – with record floods, wildfires and water shortages threatening communities across the country. We need bold climate action before it’s too late.
But that’s not the only thing keeping us up at night. Many of us are struggling to find an affordable place to live, or a decent job to support our families. Hate crimes and racism are on the rise. And governments keep failing to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous peoples.
That’s why thousands of people across Canada are calling for a Green New Deal: a vision for slashing global warming pollution at the scale scientists say is necessary -- while creating millions of jobs, lifting up Indigenous rights and fostering welcoming communities.
A flood of support for the Green New Deal could make it a major election issue and push the next government to put forward an ambitious climate plan -- but it will only happen if thousands of us pledge our support. Will you add your name?
