Advocacy In Action

Speak up for retirement security. Your voice makes a difference.

Whether it’s through a one-on-one meeting, a community event, a letter, or simply a phone call – our campaigns make certain the National Association of Federal Retirees and our key priorities are seen and understood by every sitting member of Parliament.

The key to making our advocacy campaigns possible and effective is empowering our members and supporters to advocate where they’ll have the biggest impact – in their own communities. Local voices give context, a face to the issue, and a personal story that gives a relatable, human perspective to our priorities.

Service to others is the highest calling a person can have, and the members of our Association have spent their working lives in service to Canada. A show of strength and shared focus amongst federal retirees from all walks of life focused on the same mission – to significantly improve the quality and security of retirement – makes a lasting and positive impact.

Under the Advocacy in Action menu, you will find information on our current advocacy projects and campaigns, and how you can get involved.
