Dear Paov --
The referendum on BC’s voting system has formally begun and ballots are landing in mailboxes as we speak.
The BC Health Coalition is supporting a change to proportional representation (pro rep) because we strongly believe that a fairer system of voting will lead to better health policy for all British Columbians – and especially for those living in rural areas.
We want to know if our members are planning to support proportional representation or our current mode of first past the post (FPTP).

in case you missed Rev. angel's recent webcast on Confronting Oppression: How to Practice/ How Not to Practice.
We have the &feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">recording at an unlisted youtube link on the Stand.earth channel. It's unlisted because we're hoping in the near future to host the recordings of Rev. angel's webcasts with Stand.earth with more context than just having the webcasts on youtube but also want to get all of you the recording now, so the unlisted link is a temporary measure.
