STAND UP FOR CANADA'S CHILDREN

ACT ONLINE

URGENT REQUEST FROM NATIONAL CHILD CARE LOBBY



It has oft been said that it takes a whole village to raise a child. Today we live in a global village and can take responsibility to help look after not just our own sons and daughters but all the children of the world.


All children deserve adequate care. 1 in 6 Canadian children are disadvantaged by poverty every day. A national childcare system is an essential step in enabling them to live better ­ to have the things they need to grow well.


PLEASE ACT NOW
Sign the online letter to the PM at:

STAND UP FOR CANADA’S CHILDREN!

You may also send a letter or postcard to the Prime Minister
POSTAGE FREE at:

Office of the Prime Minister
80 Wellington Street
Ottawa
K1A 0A2

Tell Mr. Harper that we want a government that serves the needs of people.

I sent a postcard telling the PM that I want,

CHILDCARE NOT WARFARE.

Please take a minute to send the campaign website link to At least five friends and encourage them to sign on:

Send this link to five friends today! We'll present the open letter to Parliament in mid-May. That gives us just under a month to reach our goal of 100,000 people signed on. With your help, we'll do it!

Thanks for spreading the word!
