Your voice counts with our elected officials! Learn how to use it most effectively in raising your and UCC partners’ concerns. Share strategies to build community for greater impact.

Whether you have never met your MP or regularly call the Prime Minister’s office, this webinar will be a chance to learn more or share your experience by connecting with others engaged in federal advocacy across the country.

Calls from partners to engage in solidarity are what drives the United Church of Canada’s focused advocacy, ensures partner voices are effectively heard in this work and teaches us about long-term commitment, true sacrifice and maintaining hope. You will hear how affected communities and partners are leading the United Church of Canada’s federal advocacy work.

The United Church has been a social justice seeker throughout our 100-year history. As we mark our anniversary, we will celebrate partner-led work and strengthen how we work alongside one another in the arena we can make a difference (Canadian politics)
