PLEASE DO NOT SIT OUT THIS ELECTION!
With the 2025 federal election fast approaching, patients with rare diseases need your voice now more than ever. This is a critical moment to push for real action that will change lives. We have a responsibility to make sure political candidates understand the urgent needs of the rare disease community and commit to tangible solutions.
CORD has developed an election toolkit to help you take action NOW! The goal is to make it VERY, VERY EASY for you to engage with candidates and campaign teams in your riding, and share within your own networks / membership. Please don’t hesitate to send another version of this newsletter to your community and re-post this within your networks, such as Facebook groups.
But you can start by sending candidates a letter via CORD’s campaign here.
Then follow the steps outlined in the 2025 election toolkit and engage as much as possible with your local candidates!
This is a pivotal moment, and we have the power to shape the future of care in Canada. Let’s keep rare diseases in the spotlight and make it a priority for the new government.
Thank you for your support!
