CANADA-Wide Action to Stop Cuts to EI

September 09, 2022

We want as many people as possible to let their local Members of Parliament (MPs) know it's urgent they extend the current EI Recovery Measures!

Here are three things you can do: 

1. Visit your MP office: to find your MP, click here and type in your postal code, then head to the office:

  • Tape a message to the door, window, or wall of the office. You can download and print this poster which has the demands clearly listed. 
    If you don’t have a printer, make a hand-written sign saying:
    Extend current temporary EI rules NOW! We need a bridge to permanent improvements in our Employment Insurance system! 
  • Take a selfie with your sign and the MP’s marquee. 

2. Call your MP and key decision-makers: Click here for everything you need to make 5 phone calls to key decision-makers.

3. Take action on social media (or email us a short report & any pictures to [email protected]) 

Post your pix from your MP office visit; post a selfie holding a hand-made sign; let everyone know you’ve called your MP; or share the EI petition!

Here’s a sample post to share your selfies: 
Hey [insert your MP Twitter handle here] 
➡️ You must EXTEND current EI Recovery rules!
➡️ These EI rules should be a bridge to PERMANENT improvements in our Employment Insurance system!
