I sent out over 100 emails to MPs this past week, containing an open letter I had published in Women Are Human on Tuesday. How do I actually get them to read it?! Their auto-responses are problematic in two ways. Firstly, they suggest that we should include our full names and addresses, but given the very real threat of violence to gender critical women, I prefer to remain anonymous. Secondly, they state that constituents from that MPs riding get priority. This is problematic particularly when writing to MPs who are on committees that are pertinent to the content of our emails, like Marci Ien, who is supposed to represent women, as the Minister Women (and Gender Equality). Am I not a woman? How do we avoid being brushed off by her staff who censor her emails? Or that of any other MP on the committee for Women and Gender Equality? How can we be heard? Aside from ridings, every single MP has a vote at the first and second readings and an opportunity to influence bills that directly effect women in Canada.
Dear JustDad7. Is it too late to submit a brief for Bill C-11? Please contact me directly if you are able to.
