Friends,

We are still buzzing from excitement from Monday. In case you missed it, hundreds of civil society groups -- from unions to grassroots organizations -- launched the Principles for a Just Recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

We know we cannot go back to the way things were. For years, we have witnessed the results of chronic inaction in the face of crises, from rising social inequity to the climate crisis.

We need to unite to demand action to build back better after the pandemic. Over the next few weeks, people across the country are hosting teach-ins in their communities to start organizing behind the principles for a Just Recovery.

There are over 30 teach-ins planned from coast to coast. Check out the map to find a digital teach-in with people near you.

Don’t see a teach-in near you? It isn’t too late to raise your hand to host a teach-in for a Just Recovery. Click here to get started.

It's unacceptable that as millions of people struggle to pay their bills, Canada’s corporate elite are raking in millions off the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have to act now as the Trudeau government... develops Canada’s recovery plan. That’s why we can’t afford to wait until social distancing is lifted to build the movement for a Just Recovery. Organizing online teach-ins is a tactic that has laid the foundation for some of the most successful social movements of our time. And it’s something we can do, right now, from our homes.

If we are going to win a Just Recovery, we need everyone to take responsibility for educating and organizing their communities to build an unstoppable people-powered movement. Sign up now to join or host a digital teach-in to win a Just Recovery.

In solidarity,

Katie
