Action Playbook
Political decisions can be changed. Projects and programs can be paused, adjusted, or even scrapped – especially when enough people speak up. By getting more civically engaged and building support, you can trigger reviews, reports, and reassessments that lead to real results.
That means voting in municipal, provincial and federal elections, but also following issues that interest you, joining advocacy groups, attending local committee meetings and talking about the issues at those meetings.
Want to bring about change? Move the Overton window? Skip social media comments and Change.org petitions – here are official, impactful actions that actually influence government decisions.
