S03 Episode 22 - 15 reasons to VOTE
4:00pm - 5:00pm
The Federal Election is today, so here are 15 reasons to VOTE!
REASON 1 - YOU CAN - democracy is a precious right, and not something we should take for granted. Protests in China and Chile are examples of what the alternative looks like. Change is slow, and voting is not going to solve everything, no. BUT, it helps! It’s harm reduction!
REASON 2 - Pharmacare - people need meds and a lot of them are very expensive. If you don’t have coverage through work, a lot of people cant afford the prescriptions they need to live.
REASON 3 - Indigenous Land Sovereignty
REASON 4 - Climate Change
REASON 5 - Dental coverage
REASON 6 - Electoral Reform
REASON 7 - Having a PM who hasn't worn black/brown face, and doesn't prop up white supremacy
REASON 8 - Sex worker rights
REASON 9 - Abortion rights and access
REASON 10- Trans rights and access to healthcare
REASON 11- Arts funding
REASON 12 - Public Education funding
REASON 13 - Housing access
REASON 14 - The opioid crisis
REASON 15 - Billionaires not being taxed
REASON 16 - Free speech being used to prop up hate speech at public institutions
