Flood the lines with calls

Let's GET LOUD! Take action ASAP, by April 1st.

ACT NOW! Tell BC to renew pandemic support in the 2024 budget: https://donoharmbc.ca/budget2024-campaign/

BC funding for COVID-related initiatives expires after 2023. This means loss of capacity for vaccination, testing, healthcare worker PPE, economic recovery programs and more.

Next year's budget is being drafted right now. Until December 15, add your voice to our campaign, and demand renewed funding for sustainable COVID-19 health management and other vital public health measures:

Renewed 3-year plan for economic recovery & pandemic resilience
Indoor #CleanAir Act
Building retrofit strategy
PPE tax credit
#LongCovid care
Improved digital health solutions

(Full recommendations: https://donoharmbc.ca/budget2024-recommendations/)

Email your MLA, leave phone messages, send free faxes & #Postcards4PublicHealth. Then spread the word - deadline is Friday, December 15!

Although the event officially starts on September 30th, I put mine in the mailbox early this morning (September 27th) because mail takes a bit longer from Toronto to Atlanta.

Please join our efforts!

Please participate in the #Postcards4PublicHealth campaign on September 30th.
