Hi Friend, I have just finished my Reconnection Tour, which was an amazing adventure that took me across the country from Windsor, ON, to Victoria, BC, to St. John’s NL. I was delighted to meet Greens across the country and encounter the diversity of who we are, the unity of our collective vision, and plant the seeds of the future of our Party. I didn’t make it everywhere but hopefully I will meet those of you I missed in other ways. We held thirty-six tour events across eight provinces right across the country, plus many meetings with past candidates and local organizers, as well as outreach meetings with advocacy groups, elected officials, and leaders. I also made it to a number of Electoral District Association meetings and events in person, and many more online! What an absolute joy it has been to witness the sprouting of what will become our future. Thank you all who came out and shared your hopes for our Green future. Being interim Leader has probably been the most beautiful experience of my life. Our community is filled with wonderful people, and working with our incredible caucus is the honour of a lifetime, and very rewarding. I am looking forward to the Fall session of Parliament, pushing the government for the transformative solutions we need and supporting our fabulous MPs, as well as the leadership contest. As you meet the candidates and engage as they put themselves forward, you will get to choose who leads our party into the future. We need your support in order to be able to share your vision with the world, push the government on transforming our economy, and meet the basic needs of people in a sustainable way.The Green Party is 39 years old and looking forward turning 40 and being a strong voice in the Canadian political conversation. Donate $3.90, $39, or $390 (the GPC is 39 this year!) Thank you for your dedication, support, and hard work over the years. I took this job in service and in gratitude for everyone who built this party, and I have to say, you’re all worth it! I feel great about where we’re headed, especially as we get kick started this Fall. Everyone needs us right now, so we best show up! All my very best, Amita Kuttner |
