About the National Day of Action

The National Day of Action is a day when people across a country come together to volunteer their time and energy towards a common cause. This cause may be related to social, environmental or other issues that are important to the community.

Depending on the nature of the cause, you may be involved in a variety of activities such as organizing events, fundraising, canvassing, educating others or engaging in direct action.
