The Canadian Unitarian Council is one of 65 organizations that launched this movement on May 6th, calling on Canadians to urge their leaders to:

• Meet the demands of Indigenous knowledge and science and cut Canada’s emissions in half in 11 years while protecting cultural and biological diversity.

• Oversee a rapid, inclusive and far-reaching transition to deeply reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect critical biodiversity.

• Fully implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

• Meet the demands of the multiple crises we face, create over a million jobs in the process, leave no one behind and build a better present and future for all of us.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

• Sign the pledge for a Green New Deal and if you are part of an organization, encourage it to endorse and participate.

• Help develop a shared vision by joining a town hall near you. Our very own Catherine Strickland is hosting Green New Deal Town Hall at our church at 7pm on Sunday, June 16th. All are invited!

• Help make the climate crisis a federal election issue by pushing political leaders to act.

• Share this campaign with your networks.

• On social media use the hashtag #GreenNewDeal.

• Call on federal election candidates in your riding to support a Green New Deal.
