Paov,

I'll keep this one short.

In the face of heat warnings out West, smoky skies in the Prairies, and thunderstorms out East, people in 40+ communities are gathering to demand emergency-level action on the climate crisis.

We're bringing the heat of the climate crisis to our Members of Parliament along with demands for action. We know that with an election around the corner, politicians are paying close attention. Dozens of MPs have pledged to attend their local actions, as have candidates contending in the election.

That's why today, we need all hands on deck. Here are 3 things you can do right now to help:

1. Call your MP to demand emergency-level climate action. Today, let's flood our MP's phone lines so they simply cannot ignore our demands. We've got an easy one-click tool and a script that you can use to make your call in 2 minutes. Click... here to call your MP.

2. Spread the word on social media. Use the hashtag #CanadaOnFire to make a post in solidarity with communities rising up today. Better yet, download and print out a sign from our toolkit, post a photo, and tag your Member of Parliament.

3. Join an action near you. It's not too late to join people rising up across the country. Check out our action map to find an action close to you.

Today's a huge day. Today, we will make sure politicians, media outlets, and people across the country understand that the climate catastrophes we've been seeing all summer are because of fossil fuel greed and political inaction. We'll show that we refuse to accept a climate emergency that gets worse and worse every year -- and we're ready for politicians to act with urgency and courage to tackle the climate crisis.

Thanks for standing with us.

Onwards,

Atiya
