We're hearing speculation that the government is going to vote this week to allow Site C dam to go forward. The only way to stop it now is with a flood of public pressure. Can you send a message to your MLA and key Site C decision-makers asking them to say no to Site C?
Rumours are flying around that BC NDP cabinet ministers are finalizing their decision on Site C this week. And pundits are speculating that the government is planning to allow the dam to go forward. [1-2]
The only way to stop it now is with a last-minute flood of public pressure, bigger than this government has ever seen.
The NDP know that if they’re going to be reelected, they can’t afford to lose the support of progressive voters -- and that means that your voice has power.
If an unprecedented number of us flood the government with messages in this final moment, it could tip the scales and push the government to cancel the project.
But the decision on Site C could be finalized any moment now. Will you send a message to help deliver the final death blow to the Site C Dam now?
An onslaught of messages could convince key cabinet ministers that if they want any hope of reelection they need to cancel the dam. But our plan will only work if thousands of us send messages right now.
Will you join us in sending the swell of emails needed to stop Site C before it’s too late? Our tool will deliver your email to key cabinet ministers and your MLA with just one click.
The government is getting hammered from every angle on Site C -- former NDP cabinet ministers, prominent NDP members, First Nations communities, trade unionists, environmental groups and even and their own volunteers have spoken out in opposition to the project. [3-4] This could be our last moment to influence the Site C decision, if we don’t do everything we can now, we could be paying the price for years to come.
Will you take a couple minutes to join the emergency push to stop Site C before it’s too late?
