Greenpeace\u2019s campaigns don\u2019t exist without people power. Our Green and Just Recovery campaign is no different, but it is very special because of the uncertain circumstances we are facing. COVID-19 makes campaigning even more challenging, currently restricting our ability to gather in public spaces. <\/p>\n\n
But once again, you showed up and thanks to your mobilisation, we are building a better tomorrow. You are making this movement bigger and more powerful than ever. Here is what your contribution helped achieve (so far!).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n In mid-march, when the COVID-19 crisis hit Canada, 30,000 of you raised your voices to ask the government to bailout people and not oil companies<\/a>. And you had an impact! While some funding has been announced for the oil sector, they\u2019ve gotten much less than what they asked for, and the government has committed to attaching some significant environmental and social conditions<\/a> on companies receiving funds.<\/p>\n\n Over the last month, we have invited you to share your vision<\/a> of what the recovery should look like with your Member of Parliament (MP) \u2014 because it\u2019s time to make sure MPs are listening to you. We launched a day of action for a green and just recovery<\/a>, because we believe that YOU can influence politicians to make the right decision. <\/p>\n\n As always, you came through again, and successfully moved MPs to get more vocal about supporting a green and just recovery.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n More than 3,300 people visited our page on May 27th, answering our call to tell key Liberal MPs to speak up publicly in favour of a green and just recovery.<\/p>\n\n Rachel Bendayan, Outremont MP in Montreal, and Jo\u00ebl Lightbound, Louis-H\u00e9bert MP in Quebec city, have both answered your call by the end of day. Check this out!<\/p>\n\n Jo\u00ebl Lightbound\u2019s response on Facebook.<\/a> <\/p>\n\nYou stopped government from granting Big Oil\u2019s bailout wishlist<\/h3>\n\n
You convinced MPs to speak up for a green and just recovery<\/h3>\n\n
