Call to action: share my covid-19 white paper

Dear friends and colleagues:

I’ve spent much of the past year studying government responses to the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on this research, I wrote a white paper that summarizes the key lessons learned that can guide our elected officials towards a more effective, consistent, clear response when the next pandemic happens. The more voices who are sending this message, the more likely our voices will be heard. Read the white paper here.

Though my recommendations focus on Canada’s situation, many will be equally relevant in other countries. Please feel free to borrow my text, revise it to fit your own country’s context, and share it with your friends and colleagues—and your elected representatives. I've provided a Microsoft Word version and a PDF version that you can distribute or modify to meet your own needs.

If you agree with what I’ve written, simply send a link to the white paper (***NOT*** to the present page) to your member of Parliament and relevant cabinet ministers. If you only agree with some parts, send the parts that you support.

To minimize the risk that recipients will treat this message as spam if they receive many copies, include a clear statement at the start of your message that you are writing to support the recommendations in the white paper and that you are asking the recipients to act upon those recommendations.

With your help, we can convince the government to move beyond words alone to do what’s necessary to save thousands of lives in the future.

Sincerely,

Geoff Hart
