Dear Friend,
The climate emergency is here. We need Parliament to pass bold legislation that accelerates the transition to 100% renewable energy while creating millions of good, green jobs.
That’s why on March 12th, we’re teaming up with our friends at 350 Canada for a Day of Action for a just transition. Over 40 events are confirmed so far from coast-to-coast.
From coast-to-coast, we will visit MP offices and use creative visuals, theatrics, and art to show them the kinds of programs we need to transition off fossil fuels.
Our government doesn’t have a clear vision for a Just Transition so we’re bringing our vision to them.
We’ll bring to life what a future “Ministry of Just Transition” could deliver in our communities. Of course, the Ministry of Just Transition doesn’t actually exist (YET!). But these actions will lift up the kind of bold government action that this moment demands and that our communities deserve.
Imagine ribbon cutting ceremonies to mark the opening of a new Just Transition Ministry, a green jobs fair for workers seeking support to transition away from the fossil fuel industry, and press conferences announcing new affordable rapid transit systems.
With dozens of actions like these happening across the country, we’ll mount pressure on our politicians to work towards the biggest and boldest Just Transition legislation possible.
Let’s build a vision together for a just transition for our communities. Sign up now for the day of action.
Can’t find an action near you? Sign up to host one and we will support you every step of the way with a toolkit, one-on-one support, action visuals, and much more!
With hope and resolve,Dylan Penner

P.S. Need a boost of inspiration? Watch the video of an amazing conversation we recently co-hosted with 350 Canada – with climate leaders Anjali Appadurai, Avi Lewis, and local organizers discussing the implications of the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on the climate emergency, and how we organize to win critical climate action to transition off fossil fuels fast.
