SUMMARY:Hope is a strategy: Become an advocate for change
DESCRIPTION:Feeling powerless in the face of global issues? Want to make a difference? \n\n\n\n\nCome join the Results Canada community for an engaging evening of hope and solutions. Learn how to speak truth to power and connect with passionate people. Because nothing is more powerful than working together. \nAt Results\, it’s our mission to generate the political will to end extreme poverty and we have trained thousands of people in Canada over the past 40 years to effectively fight for change. Now\, we are coming to Winnipeg this World Tuberculosis Day to fight against TB because disease is a leading factor in trapping people in cycles of poverty. In fact\, TB is the world’s deadliest infectious disease affecting millions\, including Manitobans where it disproportionately impacts Indigenous\, Northern\, and newcomer communities. Canada can and must step up to help end this preventable and curable disease\, but we need to raise our voices and demand action! \nThat’s where you come in. You have the power to make a difference. \nDon’t know where to start? We’ve got you covered. Our experts will teach you how to advocate for change in global health or any issue. Then we’ll take action together right then and there as part of a cross-Canada movement to raise awareness of TB! \nWe’re here to help you advocate for the world YOU want. Come be a part of the action! \nAttend here!
