How we’re flipping the script on universal pharmacare
Our grassroots movement has been taking the pharmacare issue directly to communities across Canada. From London, Ontario, to Powell River, B.C., the town hall tour has sparked conversations and garnered support for a public, universal pharmacare program. Through personal stories and strategic education, activists are reshaping the narrative, highlighting the human impact of high drug costs, and mobilizing a collective demand for accessible and affordable health care.

Earlier this year, the government tabled the Sustainable Jobs Act, after years of collective organizing from a broad of coalition of people in Canada asking for just transition legislation.

Read more about continued grassroots organizing to demand a bolder vision that addresses systemic changes and ensures a comprehensive just transition that prioritizes affected workers and communities over the interests of Big Oil CEOs.
