Dear Friend,
No one knows better the toll that sky-high drug prices and inadequate medical insurance are taking than people who have lived it. Next week, we are kicking off our national pharmacare campaign with a conversation with patient advocates Bill Swan, Rowan Burdge, Erin Little, and other guests, hosted by Avi Lewis.
An outspoken activist and a seasoned broadcaster, Avi will explore with his guests both the personal and the political sides of the fight for pharmacare, and how we can turn the dream of a public, universal drug plan that gives access to prescription drugs for all into a reality, together.
What: Public Pharmacare Now! A conversation hosted by Avi Lewis

Time: 8:30 p.m. NST, 8 p.m. AST, 7 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. CST, 5 p.m. MST, 4 p.m. PST

At a time of unprecedented attacks on our public health care system, pharmacare will help relieve the stress on our overburdened hospitals, generate billions in savings, and most importantly, save lives. But we won’t get pharmacare without a fight.
That’s why the Council of Canadians is organizing a grassroots pushback against the massive lobbying campaign that Big Pharma and their insurance industry allies have launched. Will you join us in this fight for universal drug coverage? Register for next week’s webinar to hear about opportunities to organize in your community. And if you haven’t already, sign the call to action and join the fight for affordable medicines.
Looking forward to seeing you on February 23rd.
In solidarity,
