Hi Members!
I know many of you are still working hard to complete your final exams and grading for the semester, but I’m hoping you’ll take a moment to pay attention to this important request. Last week, members at the SGM learned about our MLA Letter Writing Campaign. We want every member to send a letter to their MLA requesting support.
- Look up your MLA if you don’t know who it is: https://www.leg.bc.ca/members/mla-by-community
- Update this DRAFT letter with your personal information.
- Send the letter to your MLA and attach these three letters the CCFA has already sent.
- CC your MP! https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en
- When you send your letter, please also CC ac.ytlucafnusomac@afcc so we can count you in our follow-up lobbying reports.
Please do this before January 13 when our MP’s are in their home ridings when CAUT is coordinating a Constituency Day with FPSE for local Presidents to meet with MPs’. I’ll be lobbying on your behalf, and it would help tremendously if you’d sent your letter before then!
The first day of business for the BC government in the new year is January 21. There is still time to adjust the budget, make temporary transitional funding available, and work with the federal government to address the inequities outlined in our letters. We need all our elected officials to work together to find transitional and long-term solutions to the chronic underfunding of post-secondary education. This is a time when one message said repeatedly will have the most significant impact together WE ARE STRONGER!
