Although this is an email template with guided language we would like you to use, we highly recommend that you tailor the message in your own words. This is to ensure that your emails reach the intended recipients inbox and is not flagged as spam. 

1. Lead with who you are and what you want: "I am writing as a constituent to request..." 

2. Include data using the Voices Unheard report: "42% of Black women are avoiding care because of how they are treated in the healthcare system."

3. Make a direct, specific ask: “I am asking you to support and pass Bill 115…” clarity forces accountability.

4. Use structured demands: "Fund a provincial Black Health Equity Framework"

5. Reinforce urgency without exaggeration: “Black women cannot continue to…”

6. End with accountability and expectation of response: “I would appreciate a response…”
