Election Day is tomorrow - It's time to make our voices heard!

Dear friends and allies,

Tomorrow is election day, and all signs are pointing to a change in government. On Tuesday we have the chance to elect MLAS who are committed to addressing the needs of women and girls in our province - but only if we vote them in and hold them accountable once elected.

It's time to demand real changes that reverse, rather than exacerbate, poverty and violence against women. We must fight for affordable housing and childcare, more accessible education and training, a living minimum wage, quality and affordable health care, adequate funding for women's centres and transition houses, and a social assistance program that allows women and their families to live with dignity.

Tomorrow let's get out and vote for change! WE CAN elect a woman-positive legislature in Nova Scotia!
