Hello and welcome to RESULTS Canada!
Thank you for joining us in our efforts to create a world free of poverty and needless suffering.
In joining RESULTS, you are joining in a movement that chooses hope over cynicism and action over complacency. You are also joining an advocacy organization that is effective and that truly measures progress in terms of lives saved, more children in school, less people living in poverty.
I personally came to RESULTS after a career spanning close to 20 years in government, in parliament, in politics, and with other NGOs - most of those years working in pursuit of social justice objectives. At no other time have I felt as connected to the issues or as inspired as I am now, due to the concrete impact we are having. The commitment and tenacity of RESULTS volunteers is also a huge inspiration for me and a source of strength.
RESULTS volunteers are everyday citizens from coast to coast who take the time to get educated about the issues – and then with their own voice, and their own hearts – take action. They are unrelenting and unapologetic about calling for increased resources and better policies in support of cost-effective, tangible solutions to end poverty. That is because at RESULTS we believe a world free of poverty is possible – but that we won’t get there if we don’t take the steps. At RESULTS, we advocate around those steps.
As a RESULTS volunteer you may be asked to push yourself – we are not about “click” democracy. But, before you know it, you will be meeting with MPs, getting published in your local newspaper, writing strategic letters to key decision-makers, and speaking out bravely in support of our goals. As you do, we offer you – through staff, talented volunteers, meetings and our website - the support and training you need to feel informed, supported, inspired and confident. Best of all, you will see the tangible results of your actions and you will know that you are making a difference in the world.
Thank you for joining RESULTS and for becoming part of a community of hope and action!
