Congratulations to everyone who joined us in the call for a poverty reduction plan – we... finally have a new government that will implement a poverty reduction plan for BC! Now we need your help in making sure that the plan is meaningful and accountable to people living in poverty.

As a first step, thank your MLA for their commitment to a poverty reduction plan for BC with legislated targets and timelines, and urge them to prioritize this commitment as they move forward. We’re thrilled that it’s written into the NDP-Green Agreement as a critical priority as they work to form government now.


Your MLA has an opportunity to take strong and meaningful action on this issue and they need to hear your support! Now is the time to say a big, collective thank you!

If you only have a few seconds, email all three leaders here.

We don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can quietly become a power no government can suppress, a power that can transform the world.”
