Your voice matters. Together, we will save our LIFELINE.
At LifeLineBC, we are fighting to protect and preserve the virtual group medical care many of us rely on for complex chronic diseases such as Long COVID, ME/CFS, and Fibromyalgia. But we can’t do this without you.
One of the most powerful ways you can help is by writing to your MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly) and letting them know how important this clinic is to your health, your life, and your future. ALL letters are valuable; short, long, electronic, snail mail, or even just a social media post that tags them, if that is all you have the capacity for.
No matter what riding you live in your letter is valuable BUT if you live in any of these ridings, we very much encourage as many letters as possible from you, your supporters, family, and friends:
Mid-Island Pacific Rim (Josie Osborne, the Health Minister)
Vancouver Point Grey (David Eby, the Premier)
Cowichan Valley (Debra Toporowski, Secretary for Rural Health)
North Vancouver Seymour (Susie Chant, Secretary for Seniors’ Services)
Surrey City Centre (Amna Shah, Secretary for Mental Health & Addictions)
BE PERSISTENT- and if you get a response, we want to be involved in any potential meetings with your MLA since that is direct access to the ministry of health.
If you live in these ridings, the more letters the better as well! (Remember to use the opposition letter template in this case.)
Nechako Lakes (John Rustad, leader of the opposition)
North Island (opposition health critic)
Courtenay-Comox (opposition health critic)
CCing lifelinebcclmf@gmail.com will allow us to track how many letters we generate from this wonderful community, let us print a hardcopy package for the health ministry, and allow us to compile testimonials (this is your consent to that). You can email us if you want that testimonial marked anonymous, no problem. This email address is also where you send any questions, comments, concerns, responses from MLAs, and interest in getting more involved with our efforts.
ALL LETTERS ARE IMPORTANT, NO MATTER WHAT RIDING YOU ARE IN.
HERE IS EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED:

Use our social media toolkit - raising awareness online can be just as powerful! You will find sample posts, hashtags, images, and ideas to help you share the message in a way that feels authentic to you.
Distribute this far and wide! Friends, family, physicians, etc! The more voices the better!
You are valued. Your stories are valued. We will save our LIFELINE.
Happy writing,
The LifeLineBC team
