CUPW has just launched the new chapter in our Delivering Community Power(DeCoPo) campaign. We need to hit the ground running if we are to capitalize on the unprecedented times in which we live and make our vision a reality.

As a first step, CUPW needs your help. We are beginning a process to gather a pool of candidates in order to select nine coordinators from among the membership who will work on this important campaign from November 2020 until April 2021. These coordinators will take on a variety of tasks and organizing that will take place regionally, nationally and yes, often virtually.

We need people who are outgoing, flexible, have access to a good internet connection (given the times in which we live), have good writing skills, previous DeCoPo or climate action experience, or CUPW activist or facilitation experience. If you are bilingual, that is good too, but not a criteria except for one position. If you think you have the needed skills for this job, please consider applying.

Much needs to be accomplished in a narrow window of time. If you are selected, you will be trained, and provided with all the necessary resources and guidance. This will help fulfill our mission to ensure that CUPW members and allies, elected representatives at all levels, and the public understand the impact that making our Delivering Community Power vision a reality, will have on our society.

We cannot miss this chance. We cannot do it without you.

In solidarity,

Jean-Philippe Grenier

3rd National Vice-President
