E-ssentials: MP Summer Chat Sheets, United Church Foundation Grant Opportunities, and more!
Bringing Faithful Justice to the Grill: MP Summer Chat Sheets
Bringing faithful justice to the grill! The summer is a great time to connect with and build a relationship with your local MP. We have created some short "BBQ pitches" on topics that we know are of interest to you as advocates. Make the most of the opportunity of your MP being home from Parliament until mid-September. Use and adapt these faithful justice pitches as your situation requires.
Visit our Faith and Politics page and scroll down to the "Downloads" section for the resource, "Bringing faithful justice to the grill: MP chat sheets."
