Lewis For Leader

1/ Amid a cost of living crisis and the rise of the far-right, the path forward for the NDP has never been clearer.  We need a third party putting forward the real solutions people need that neither the Liberals nor Conservatives are offering.

Our Toronto chapter was thrilled to join NDP candidate Serena Purdy for a solidarity canvass in University-Rosedale! The by-elections take place on April 13th. If you’d like to get involved with Serena’s campaign, go to serenapurdy.ca and sign up to volunteer. Organizing is our power! ✊🍊

1 week left to vote for the next leader of the federal NDP! Over the past six months, this campaign has sparked hope and momentum across Canada. Let’s finish strong. Vote now and rank Avi Lewis # 1. Don’t wait—voting ends March 28 at 7 PM EST: https://act.lewisforleader.ca/vote

Hey Vancouver! Join us tomorrow for a final-push fundraiser! As the leadership race ends, let's make sure Avi has everything he needs to not only win this race, but come out of it with the organizing power we need to rebuild the party and get ready for what comes next. RSVP: avilewis.link/van-fund

We take fire code very seriously.

Last night's event in Ottawa was electric. More than 800 people in the warm and resonant Dominion-Chalmers Centre. We're bringing New Democrats together, building the vision, strategy, and ground game for the next election. Voting begins on March 9. Don't delay. Help us finish strong in Winnipeg.

I visited Gaza in 2009, just months after the Cast Lead massacre. What I saw then shocked and changed me — and there are no words for what has been destroyed now. We need to end this genocide and dismantle Israel’s apartheid system. My conversation with @smohyeddin.bsky.social.

Just 3 days left to buy a membership and vote for the next leader of the NDP!  Something special is taking shape: sold-out town halls, waves of moving endorsements, thousands of volunteers, and countless conversations. Don’t just watch from the sidelines. Be part of it: https://avilewis.link/join

The NDP must be a political home for every worker – white collar, blue collar, or no collar. That means defending workers’ rights that have been under attack for decades while confronting new threats posed by app-based gig work, AI, and precarious jobs. Our plan → https://lewisforleader.ca/

Tous les travailleuses et travailleurs, qu'ils soient cols blancs, cols bleus ou sans col, doivent se retrouver au sein du NPD. Défendons leurs droits face aux attaques passées et aux nouvelles menaces : la gig economy, IA, précarité.  Notre plan → https://choisisavi.ca

There are only 7 days left to join the NDP to vote in the leadership race. Don’t take it from me. Take it from the thousands who’ve joined this movement: we're building something big here. For the many, not the money! Join by Jan 28 and help shape what comes next: https://avilewis.link/join

How thrilling to be endorsed by a group of authors whose work goes so wide and deep - into the past and future, into ourselves and societies. We need art and culture in our politics! These storytellers help us understand and imagine the world we need to build together. Join us: avilewis.link/join

Quelle joie d’être soutenu par des auteur·es dont les œuvres touchent profondément nos vies et nos sociétés. L’art et la culture sont essentiels en politique. Ces conteur·euses nous aident à imaginer le monde à construire ensemble. Rejoignez-nous : https://avilewis.link/adhesion

There's a lot of daylight between the Carney we heard at Davos – calling out the US’s exercise of naked power and shredding the so-called rules-based international order – and the Carney who has repeatedly capitulated to Trump since taking office. My conversation with Ryan Jespersen this morning.

Canada's big six banks made $70 billion in profits last year on the backs of working people. So I went to Bay Street to ask bankers whether it’s time for a wealth tax. If you agree, become a member of the NDP and let’s fight for it together: avilewis.link/join youtu.be/KfNEsh9Hx6s?...

Hey Vancouver! Join us tomorrow night for the next stop of the All Out for Avi tour! We’ll be joined by incredible guests, with music from Kimmortal, DJ Kookum, Cheap Flavor, and Ndidi Cascade, and words from Rueben George, Lucy Maloney, Alison Gu, and Sean Orr! RSVP: avilewis.link/vancouver-to...

NDP leadership hopeful @avilewis.ca wants to take some big swings. But can his optimism and belief in huge progressive change overcome Canadian cynicism? Today on Bubble Pop, we discussed all that and more (including photo evidence of his time with MuchMusic). Here's a sneak peek:

Winnipeg, thank you! From residents at Old Grace Co-op to labour leaders, faith communities, and a powerful night with supporters, this stop was about solutions, solidarity, and strength. Grateful for every conversation and for the momentum growing here. Onward. http://avilewis.link/join

Hey Edmonton! I’ll be in your city on Jan 20 for a community town hall. We’ll talk big ideas and how we build a government that takes on corporate landlords, grocery monopolies, and bankers — to govern for the many! Plus music, local leaders, & space to connect. RSVP: avilewis.link/edmonton-tow...

Le logement est devenu le terrain de jeu des riches. Les propriétaires immobiliers et les investisseurs immobiliers tirent d'énormes profits de la spéculation, tandis que trop de gens sont écrasés par le coût du logement. Il est temps de rétablir le logement comme un droit humain → choisisavi.ca

Housing in Canada has become a playground for the rich. Corporate landlords and real estate investors make massive profits off speculation while too many people are crushed by the costs of keeping a roof over their heads. It's time to restore housing as a human right → https://lewisforleader.ca/

Les États-Unis ont attaqué un pays, enlevé son chef d'État et s'emparent de son pétrole. Trump a invoqué la doctrine Monroe. C'est le moment pour le Canada de se tenir debout : condamner cet acte d'impérialisme. Rejeter l'impunité et la politique de la force brute.
