Could you host a Holiday Cards for Change party with your family, friends or For Our Kids team? (Find a team near you here).
Making our climate action creative, impactful and fun creates the energy we need to stay involved. As 2021 comes to a close, tap into your inner artist and create some homemade cards for change.
Send your cards to your elected officials or other power holders (some ideas below).
Three easy steps,
on your own or with a group
Make it bright
Think about ways you can bring friends and family together online for a card-making party: share your thoughts as you're creating them, have some hot chocolate or treats, play some music or sing songs. Do a show and tell at the end to share your messages and artwork. Share stories of hope and solutions.
You can find some designs to print out here or create your own. Then, tell your story. What are you wishing for?
You and your kids will have your own way of expressing what's in your heart.
Take a picture of your kids or yourself with your cards and post on social media. You can tag the recipient or your elected officials, and remember to tag @forourkidscanada on FB/IG so we can amplify your voice. Or email us your photos and a short description of your event here: [email protected]
