Citizens for Public Justice

Revisions to the MBM bring welcome improvements, but measure still falls short

CPJ has co-signed a letter to Finance Minister Bill Morneau, asking for the necessary commitments for pharmacare in this year’s federal budget.

Citizens for Public Justice stands in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en First Nation hereditary chiefs and land defenders, who are being removed from their sovereign territory by the RCMP and the settler government of Canada.

As people of faith, we are called to love, and advocate for, all of God’s glorious creation.

As the decade draws to a close, CPJ reflects on 10 years of faithful advocacy on poverty eradication, ecological justice, and refugee rights.

Today, CPJ joined Climate Action Network Canada and 29 other organizations from across Canada in writing to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. As he prepares to form a new cabinet, we called on him to put in places mechanisms to meet stronger climate targets that would limit warming to 1.5°.

CPJ believes that there is a special role for faith communities in the task of helping to build unity.

During the 2019 federal election campaign, CPJ hosted events to discuss key issues in this facing Canada including domestic poverty, climate change, and refugee rights.  

This fall, CPJ has participated in the climate strikes, brought on several new interns and staff, and launched a new podcast!

Canada’s largest anti-poverty campaign joins the worldwide movement on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.
