Welcome to Equalize, CNIB’s advocacy e-newsletter!
We took some time to reimagine Equalize, an advocacy newsletter. Today, we are proud to relaunch this resource with a national lens. As a trusted member of our advocacy community, Equalize aims to update you on CNIB’s advocacy campaigns, initiatives and programs from coast to coast to coast. We’ll highlight some of our work, profile local advocates, discuss regional and national advocacy issues, and more!
