Introducing Animal Issues to Canada's New Parliament

Canada just elected a new Parliament, and it's our job to make sure they know that animal protection issues matter to Canadians! In this AJA Lunchtime Live training, we're going to prepare you to reach out to your member of parliament (MP) to appeal to them to champion the animal issues that were on the verge of major breakthroughs before the election: 1. banning live horse exports for slaughter 2. outlawing the cruel captivity of elephants and great apes 3. investing in animal-free science. Animal Justice's Director of Legal Advocacy Kaitlyn Mitchell and Government & Legislative Affairs Counsel Pierre Sadik will join us to give us the lowdown on why now is a critically important time to push to fix Canada’s badly outdated animal laws and how we're going to do it. We'll cover: -The fall budget bill and its significance for banning live horse exports and getting funding for animal-free research. -The original reach-out to your MP's office and what to say. -How to schedule a meeting with your MP and what to do if you don't hear from them. -Talking points and tips to take the stress out of meeting with your MP or their staff people. -How to take action if you aren't a Canadian citizen. If you want to ensure that Canada's new Parliament prioritizes animals, you won't want to miss this AJA Lunchtime Live!
