**Here’s a copy of your script!**

_Hi there! My name is \[YOUR NAME\]. I am calling today to ask \[MP NAME\] to commit to real, emergency-level action on the climate crisis. As one of your constituents, I want you to know that your response to this call will inform my vote in the next election. You can call me back anytime at \[YOUR PHONE NUMBER\]._

_Canada is on fire because of the climate emergency. Unprecedented heatwaves and devastating wildfires are sweeping the country right now. We cannot allow this to become the new normal._

_With enough courage from political leaders like you, we can change course. But, that means accelerating Canada’s transition off fossil fuels. This is an emergency. I want to know: are you prepared to act like it?_

_As your constituent, I am calling on you to sign the Canada On Fire pledge. The pledge has two demands:_

- _Support an immediate moratorium on new fossil fuel approvals and a freeze on all fossil fuel expansion projects under construction — including the Trans Mountain pipeline._
- _Work to quickly pass Just Transition legislation to support workers and communities, especially Indigenous and remote communities as we move towards a 100% renewable energy future._

_If you have the courage to act like we’re in an emergency, sign the Canada On Fire pledge. You can find the full text at 350.org/on-fire-pledge._

_I look forward to hearing back from you._
