Friends,

This morning, we joined hundreds of organizations -- from unions to grassroots groups -- to launch a plan for a Just Recovery from the pandemic.1

We also learned this morning that Justin Trudeau is already tapping Bay Street bankers to guide his recovery planning.2 These are the same banks dumping billions of dollars into the fossil fuel industry, and putting profits ahead of people.

We know the federal government is putting together plans for a recovery from the coronavirus pandemic and we need Trudeau's cabinet to build back better. This is our chance to build a more equitable society that puts workers and communities first in the midst of a crisis. Join us to demand a Just Recovery that works for people and the planet. We've made it easy to email cabinet ministers responsible for the recovery with one click.

We cannot address the climate crisis without addressing rising economic and social inequality. Our fight for climate justice means justice for people and the planet to build a society that works for all, especially those most marginalized. That's why we have joined hundreds of organizations... across the country to endorse the Principles of a Just Recovery.

In the midst of converging health, economic and climate crises, it is irresponsible to go back to a business-as-usual of climate inaction and widespread inequality.

This global health pandemic is a stark reminder that the status quo can and must be disrupted to ensure our systems work for people and the planet. Click here to email Trudeau's cabinet ministers and demand a Just Recovery that leaves no one behind.

With resolve,

Atiya
