What does this federal election mean for abortion rights and access? ARCC’s Election Toolkit will help you unpack information and navigate election promises as they relate to reproductive rights, so you can cast an informed vote that will protect and improve abortion rights in Canada. 

This workshop will take you through our newly launched toolkit for the 2025 federal election (Français). We’ll equip you with info on the current state of reproductive rights and the possible threats to reproductive rights that could happen under a future Conservative government.

You’ll also get an early look at our Voting Guide (coming soon) and we’ll take you through our other tools, including a Letter Tool for writing to candidates, Questions for Candidates, an Online Petition and a Solidarity Statement for folks to sign, free stuff you can order like stickers, and a social media kit that you can download to help promote our toolkit.

Note: The workshop will be in English only, but the toolkit is bilingual.

Your optional donation will support ARCC‘s work in disseminating the toolkit widely.
