Hey Paov,
It's time to take action to increase Canada's official development assistance (ODA) to 0.7% -- assistance that will help economies grow, strengthen health systems and give children - especially girls - the quality education they deserve.

Win tickets to the Global Citizen Festival: Email the Trudeau government to give 0.7% of gross national income for overseas development to help the world’s most vulnerable.

...
We know that Canada cares, but it’s time to #showup. For a more equitable world, developed countries need to give 0.7% of gross national income to developing countries.

But right now, only 6 countries are currently meeting this global standard, and Canada isn’t one of them.

That’s why we’re calling on the Canadian government to increase its aid budget and meet international obligations.

Call on Canada to step up and contribute their fair share of development assistance and earn your chance to win tickets to the 2016 Global Citizen Festival.

Together we can ensure a happy, healthier life for people and the planet.

Thanks for all that you do,

Dominic and the Global Citizen Team.
