Just days before we launch our messaging campaign to proudly show and grow support for immigrants and refugees in Canada, I am inspired by the knowledge that we can do great things together. That is what this campaign is all about.
We know we urgently need to come together to counter the harms already being experienced by newcomers, as some leaders here and abroad continue to invoke anti-immigrant rhetoric and falsely blame immigration for infrastructure deficits and job losses.
We’ve done the research and we know what we need to do to push back. Now, we need to unite our voices for a successful launch to spark the momentum we need to turn the tide. Together, let’s remind people that in Canada, we proudly welcome newcomers and know that our strength comes from the diversity in our communities.
There are several ways you or your organization can be a part of launch day - Wednesday, November 12th:
- Plan to share your own social media posts on launch day. We will share an embargoed toolkit for this on November 10th, and you will find it on the campaign site once launched.
- Spread the news. Share our launch email with your lists, or include mention in a newsletter.
Want to learn more about the campaign, how to apply evidence-based messaging and how else to support? Join our first trainings:
English: November 10th, 1-3pm Eastern
French: November 26th, 1-3pm Eastern
Please take a moment to consider how you or your organization can help grow support for our shared campaign, and for all our neighbours.
To all our members and partners – thank you for your support and encouragement in getting us to this point. Together, our collective efforts on launch day will be just the beginning!
With hope and solidarity,
