Take Action

Join our Rapid Response Network (RRN)! Through the network, you will receive periodic action alerts and event notices via email. There are many ways to get more actively involved in an issue and to make your voice heard. Our action alerts are typically letter-writing campaigns on a particularly critical issue. Periodically, we host or partner on events, teach-ins, seminars, dialogues and demonstrations. Through the RRN, we will let you know about events that may be organized in a community near you.

Several times a year the Halifax Initiative needs your support to try and get decision-makers to make the right decisions that respect human rights and the environment. The issues might be the harassment (or worse) of activists in developing countries opposing IFI-supported projects or policies, an upcoming vote by the Canadian Executive Directors of the World Bank and the IMF on a bad project or policy, or a complete lack of Canadian political leadership on an issue such as forced privatization, debt cancellation or mismanagement of natural resources. Our action alerts ask you to join us to make your voice heard by the World Bank or the IMF, by Ministers, MPs, government officials, or CEOs and investors of companies, for example.
