July 18 Day of Action for Paid Sick Days

We cannot re-open the economy safely without this basic protection. If workers are not safe, none of us are safe.  Join us in calling for immediate and permanent paid sick days for all. Here's how you can participate: 

1) Register below to receive details on how we'll be raising our voices - together - for paid sick days.

2) Mark your calendar to take action - and spread the word!

- Let your friends, coworkers and neighbours know

- Invite your local community group or union local to participate

- Download a poster and put it up on your street, at your local grocery store and more! Visit:www.15andfairness.org/resources

- Share the event

3) Show your support on Saturday, July 18!

- No matter where and what time, we want to hear from you about why you support paid sick days for all. Take a selfie, post a video, make a sign, and tag your friends to do the same. Use the hashtag #PaidSickLeaveSavesLives

- Contact your local elected provincial representative (MLA, MPP, etc.) and call for action on paid sick days: phone them, send an email, tag them on social media, or visit their office and decorate it with posters and signs

- Decorate your neighbourhood with paid sick days messages: chalk the sidewalk, put up posters, and drop flyers in your neighbours’ mailboxes
