Dear friend,
A few months ago, BuzzFeed News exposed a huge scandal – WWF-funded rangers have been abusing, torturing and murdering indigenous peoples in the name of conservation.
This is a huge development in our campaign to force the WWF to stop violating indigenous peoples’ rights in the name of nature. Now we need your help to keep the pressure up.

Paov --
The facts are on our side,
a universal single-payer pharmacare plan would save
money and lives.
However, Big Pharma and Big Insurance have bankrolled a misinformation
campaign that has dominated the media and election narratives. These
powerful lobbies have created an echo chamber obscuring facts in an
attempt to preserve the status quo, where they reap huge profits off
of the inefficiencies of our fractured system.
Our voices are
more powerful than their lies. By using this simple tool, you can send
a letter to the editor of your local newspaper and help take back the
message.

Paov --
Everyday people across Canada have to choose between putting food on the table and buying their medicines. This leads to once manageable conditions escalating into health emergencies because a prescription was not filled due to cost.
For people with
diabetes, heart disease and chronic respiratory problems alone,
universal single-payer pharmacare would result in 220,000 fewer
emergency room visits and 90,000 fewer hospital stays every
year.
