Join me this federal election - and support Melissa and the NDP!

Good morning: This election, I am helping run an election campaign for the NDP and our champion candidate Melissa in my Toronto riding of University-Rosedale. I am writing to you today as a committed organizer and friend, to share why I see this political involvement as an extension of my social justice movement work, and therefore why I’ve decided to commit myself fully to organizing around this incredibly important Canadian election. I hope you will choose to get involved as well.   Some background... I moved back to Canada after many years doing human rights and racial, economic, and basic freedom legal work and organizing in the United States. I love being back in Toronto. I feel a commitment from communities I am connecting back into to building a society where we can all thrive - because of our differences, because of government action to remove barriers and create a more equitable playing field, because of collective commitment to support each other. ...
