The Leadnow community has been fighting on so many fronts that it’s been hard to keep up with it all -- so I thought I’d send a quick note to share some of the highlights from an amazing month.
Here’s a quick summary of what your Leadnow community has accomplished in the last month:

Toronto Book Launch of Free Public Transit: And Why We Don't Pay to Ride Elevators
"We don’t pay for elevators, do we? And rightly so. The very idea is preposterous. Yet the public transit system plays the same role in the city, only sideways," argues the author Jason Prince, a Montreal urban planner and social economy expert.

Dear PAOV,
Thousands of Leadnow members have already told us to go all in to win proportional representation (PR) for BC this fall -- but we still haven’t heard from you. do you want Leadnow to launch the biggest campaign we’ve ever run in BC to help win PR for our province?
BC's referendum on electoral reform is a once in a lifetime opportunity to usher in a new kind of politics to BC, and we can’t afford to let anti-PR pundits trying to cling on to our current system jeopardize this chance to upgrade our democracy.
We have until June 8 to save Tetrahedron Park

Breaking: Kinder Morgan's bailout

The federal government has decided to bail out oil giant Kinder Morgan. Help us fight back.
Dear PAOV,
On Tuesday evening, less than 12 hours after Trudeau’s government announced it was using billions of tax dollars to buy Kinder Morgan’s leaky 65-year old pipeline, thousands rallied in Vancouver, reminding Trudeau that we’re still standing strong against his dangerous pipeline and tanker project — and in fact, his actions just increased our resolve. More targeted demonstrations and protests are being planned in the days to come.
Stand.earth continues to play a key role in the movement against this pipeline. Click here to keep us in the fight.
