If you wanna get informed about the election, check out accounts like @ThrivingLdnOnt & @london_votes. Watch online recordings of debates hosted by @ULLdn to find out how local candidates stack up on issues. There are good summaries available to make your research really simple!
Electing representatives who follow science and base decisions on evidence is an impactful #climateaction we can easily undertake. @CityofLdnOnt declared a climate emergency, but it’s up to the next municipal council to oversee implementation of the Climate Emergency Action Plan

You’ll need to find out which ward your home address is located in. Each ward has a representative city councillor that will be elected in October. Western’s campus is in ward 6; Fanshawe is ward 3. london.maps.arches.com/apps/MapSeries…

One last thing— if you don’t plan to stick around in London after your degree, maybe you don’t care much about what happens. But there are a lot of vulnerable folks and other forms of life here (who can’t vote!) that will be affected by the decisions of local government. When you
cast your vote, consider those who don’t have a voice. Remember the underrepresented people throughout history who struggled and suffered just to have the right to vote for government that affects our daily lives. Think of voting as a profound, shared responsibility to society.
