GRAN Action

November Actions:

Email your MP now! The Federal Budget has made us very concerned about Canada’s pending pledge to the Global Fund. We are asking you to write your MP as soon as possible to tell them that despite the disappointing announcement of cuts to international assistance, Canada must nevertheless prioritize an ambitious pledge this year to the Global Fund, one of the world’s most effective tools to win the fight against AIDS, TB and malaria. To help you with your message we have prepared suggested talking points here.  The Global Fund Replenishment Summit is taking place on November 21st, so we cannot delay this advocacy. 

You can find contact info for your MP here: https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en. When you write to your MP, please cc Prime Minister Carney (pm@pm.gc.ca) and Secretary of State for International Development Sarai (randeep.sarai@international.gc.ca).

Please let us know at info@grandmothersadvocacy.org once you have taken this action.
