RightNow is a Canadian pro-life political organization. Founded in 2016 after an internal schism with the non-profit Campaign Life Coalition[1], it works to elect a majority of pro-life members to the House of Commons to outlaw abortion by aiding their election in local nomination races.
During election seasons, the organization is mostly volunteer-run using "campaign teams and door knockers" from their network of "supporters across the country."[2]
RightNow regularly participates in federal and provincial party leadership elections, such as in the Conservative Party of Canada and the B.C. Liberal Party.[3]
In 2017, RightNow contributed to the narrow victory of Andrew Scheer in the 2017 Conservative Party of Canada leadership election, claiming they sold "thousands of memberships."[4]
