Subject: Election call to action Package for FFC


*Hi Fisheries for communities/Slow Fish/fish harvester/foodie folks,*



*Election time = get our message out time! *



A quick email here to share with you the info package we have been working
on to share with all our candidates, or to share on social media, to get
our message out about the increasing loss of local benefits for our fish
harvesters and communities due to profiteering and big business take over.



It looks from polls like BC may have a big influence in the election due to
the close race of the top three parties and so we should be bale to get
candidates attention, especially in ridings where fisheries matter or where
they are in a close race!



So, we have put together a nice a neat package for all ourselves and all
members/allies to use to get the message out. Attached you will find:



   1. An overview of the issue, potential speaking points and questions you
   could ask of your candidates as well as contact details for FFC policy
   experts if you need more support.
   2. An “Election Brief” from FFC which you can give to your candidates
   and friends either digitally or in person!



If you think you may have a chance to do some messaging to candidates
somehow but don’t have the info, we can also send you a third document with
Specific candidate contact details for your riding. Also I am happy to chat
with anyone who has questions, thoughts, or just wants to brainstorm what
can be done, as is Jim.



We also have info for how to share the message on social media including a
great new video (thanks all who helped with that!). You can see it here 😊
, or you can find it on Ecotrust and Fisheries for Communities instagram!

Please also feel free to share these briefs with anyone I missed or anyone
in your own networks. Thanks so much everyone. Let’s get out there and take
advantage of the open ears!
