In the last few days, you joined the Leadnow.ca campaigning community by taking part in one of our online actions or in person events. I’m writing to you today to let you know a bit more about Leadnow - who we are, what we’re doing, and how you can be a part of it.
Could you do us a quick favour now, and send us a short reply? Even if it's just "Hi Leadnow", we would really appreciate it. By replying, you help let your email provider know that we're real people, not spammers. Thank you!
At Leadnow, We're working together to build real power among every-day people across Canada so that we can hold governments accountable and begin to address the greatest challenges of our time - preventing runaway climate change, reducing the inequality that’s tearing at our social fabric, and fixing our broken... democracy.
Leadnow.ca is different. We’re an independent, multi-issue campaigning community driven by people-power.
What does that mean?
1. We’re fiercely independent. Leadnow is not associated with any political party, or politician. We’ll work with them when it makes sense, but never be afraid to criticize and hold them to account when that’s what is needed.
2. We’re multi-issue. Most campaigning organizations focus on one (or a small range) of issues. Instead, we’re working to build a large community that takes effective action together online and on the ground, through working on a range of issues that matter. People like you join our community by taking action on an issue you already care about. We’ll then send you opportunities to take further action on that campaign, as well as introducing you to other issues.
3. We’re people-powered. Leadnow has a small, super-efficient staff team, but the most important part of Leadnow is YOU, and the 300,000+ people like you from coast to coast to coast taking action together. You help decide what campaigns we run, and it’s your actions - everything from contacting politicians, to organizing a house meeting or going door to door and talking your neighbours - that makes the difference. The Leadnow community is spread across every part of the country, all ages, and across the political spectrum. Interested what that looks like? Check out this map: http://www.leadnow.ca/map-community
4. We’re funded by people like you - mostly through lots of small donations - and we don’t take money from political parties, big corporations or governments, or accept donations in exchange for influence. We’re a registered Canadian non-profit, but not a charity. (This is really important, as it keeps us free to say whatever needs to be said.)
We’ll be in touch soon with some more ways you can be a part of this, but for now, please take a minute to follow us on whatever social media you use:

P.P.S. Leadnow was launched in early 2011 by a group of young people who care about a wide range of issues and wanted to create a new way for people to come together to make a real difference on the issues that matter. Since then, we’ve grown to include over 300,000 people!
