#bcbudget2027 — Public Fediverse posts

Advocacy opportunity 📣 BC's Finance committee is now accepting written feedback on what to include in BC's 2027 budget. This is a critical chance to tell policy-makers to support clean air, Long COVID care, testing, wastewater monitoring and more.

Learn how to submit your written feedback at https://donoharmbc.ca/bc-government-2027-budget.../ - and find some sample answers you can use to make it easier! In past years, budget feedback has resulted in some notable successes - including a 2024 commitment of over $3 billion in continued pandemic funding.

This year's feedback deadline is 2 pm (Pacific Time) on Friday, June 19. Note that if you're already scheduled to present directly to the finance committee, you do *not* need to do a written submission as well.
