Voices Coalition of NGOsThe Voices Coalition of NGOs in Canada call on party leaders to lay out their vision for Social Justice & Human Rights in Canada.
Dear Voices,
Four representatives of our member-organizations will be holding a press conference tomorrow morning at 10am on Parliament Hill. Alex Neve (Amnesty International), Leilani Farha (Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation - CERA), John Gordon (Public Service Alliance of Canada - PSAC), and Gerry Barr (Canadian Council for International Co-operation - CCIC), will speak to journalists about the responses to the pledges we've proposed to Canada's federal political parties. See the attached media advisory for more information.
Since sending our letter out to all the Parties on March 22nd, three parties have responded, and their responses are also attached below, as well as the original letter.
Individuals from amongst your organizations who wish to pressure all five party leaders can send an email to them about the Voices-Voix pledges here:

We will also use the Press Conference to raise awareness about Wednesday's Day for Democracy.
