If you’re Canadian and a lefty, this matters to you.*

There are just over 2 weeks left to register your membership for what is easily one of the most consequential votes of the year : the federal NDP leadership race. IMO, the NDP was sacrificed in our last federal election a desperate gamble to stop the Conservatives, and the Liberals have shown us how little their campaign promises were/are worth. It’s time for a reset and a renewal.

You can sign up here if you already want to support Avi Lewis ( https://act.lewisforleader.ca/become-an-ndp-member ) but if you’re not sure yet, here’s a policy tracker website with all the candidates and their positions : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rHzU1w55NHrBZKZV9FGiMqhEo74BZEfMq8s6HBzO37o/

Read it. Choose. Join. Vote.

It’s that simple (and membership can be as low as 5-10&).

Please vote. Please boost.

@Caution

I've thought about joining the NDP to vote because I feel we need a strong progressive alternative.

I reached out to 4/5 candidates about very simple matters and heard from none of them. That doesn't leave me with a lot of confidence in their ability to rebuild.

I'm not sure if you are connected to any of the campaigns or the federal office, but if you are please pass this along. I say this as someone who wants to see the NDP to succeed and as someone who has often voted NDP

@Caution
It would be good to see Bianca Mugyenyi on that policy tracker doc.

[caution@tech.lgbt]

@marcia Agreed. Given that the document states it is updated weekly and she only announced it via social media a week ago, that’s probably why her name isn’t there yet. Worth signing in to the Google doc to message the maintainer though. Im not the one doing it.
