TAKE ACTION Look up your MLA using the MLA Finder at http://www.leg.bc.ca/mla/3-1-1.htm and call, email, or visit their office (report in hand) to tell them that the cost of poverty is too high. Contact them while they're in their home constituencies over the summer and let them know we want to see a poverty reduction plan in their party's platform ahead of the next election.
