As his friends at Global Citizen, we couldn’t be more proud!

Canadian Member of Parliament for Edmonton-Riverbend and One Last Push Champion, Matt Jeneroux, made a rousing statement in the House of Commons on Wednesday February 22.

“16 million people are walking today would have otherwise been paralyzed,” Jeneroux said.

It’s true that polio anywhere is a threat to people everywhere, and we have come too close to stop now. As mentioned by MP Jeneroux, smallpox is the only human disease to ever be fully eradicated, but we are already 99.9 per cent of the way there in eradicating polio.

Watch the official statement by MP Jeneroux and sign the official e-petition to end polio for good.
