Thanks for Speaking Out

Thanks to the help of Canadians like you, Black Out Speak Out has reached more Canadians than we ever thought possible. We drummed up over 500 partner groups to help us spread the message about the threats to nature and democracy in Canada. With your support, #blackoutspeakout trended on twitter this week, almost 10,000 people joined the campaign on facebook, and countless others changed their profile pictures, and got the word out to their friends. The website got over 170,000 hits, and 32,000 emails were sent to members of parliament opposing bill C-38. And, check out all the media coverage we got!

 

Of course, as long as our environmental laws and our voices are under threat, our fight is not over. More of Canada’s environmental laws are expected to be gutted, further threatening our water, air and climate. And, changes to charities law could inhibit our ability to speak out to protect our environment.

 

Over the course of the summer we will continue to get the message out that Canada’s environmental laws need strengthening, not weakening. We will continue to keep you informed, and we'll need you to speak out again.

 

The work has only begun, so please consider making a donation to support what has been accomplished, and to continue to apply the pressure needed to protect our environment and democracy.
