About The People's Response

Families and communities are reeling from the economic crisis. But so far all the “bright ideas” on how to fix things have come from corporate executives, bankers and brokers--the same people who got us into this mess.

A People's Response brings Canadians from all walks of life into the discussion about the current economic crisis and the future of our country. It's a way for busy but concerned people like you to make your voice heard and provide our governments with a better picture of the real effects of the recession on all of us. It’s also a way for us to ensure that our governments find solutions that work for everybody, every day.

Tell us your story. Let us know what you think. How is the recession affecting your family and community? What should our governments be doing to create jobs and help vulnerable families?

Tell us online by uploading a video, audio or a photo or leave a comment on this website. Or tell us in person by attending one of the town hall meetings highlighted on our calendar of events. Or make your opinion known through our survey and petition.

The People's Response is an initiative of the National Union of Public and General Employees and it's Component Unions.
