ACTION: Letter Writing

Rebecca Knight, the Community Outreach Coordinator at St. Andrew's Wesley shares:

"We’re writing our local MP to make GLI an election issue, expressing our support for the (next) federal government to mandate a guaranteed livable income. Contacting your MP personally is one of the best ways to spark political action. This can be either by a phone call, by visiting their office, through a handwritten letter or by email. If you would like to see a template of a letter supporting GLI, please visit the website of the United Church of Canada (UCC) or see the first attachment in this email. Click to find your MP."

From Rev. Barry K. Morris,

Along with Lois Wilson, the co-chair of our national United Church of Canada's Advocacy for a Guaranteed Livable Income (GLI) network, we are engaged in a national campaign to encourage Federal MPs to support a recent letter signed by 47 Members of the Senate proposing a five-year demonstration of a GLI in Prince Edward Island. The Senators are calling for federal support that will enable PEI to model the benefit of a national GLI, a necessary step to implement this tool towards a just recovery and transition. 

Using the attached letter template, we are encouraging all United Church members to write a letter to your MP to express your support for this initiative. The United Church has been a proponent of a Guaranteed Livable Income policy in Canada for over thirty years. Along with many other Canadians, we recognize we are now in a time requiring quick and decision action. Every voice counts.
