### Twitter/X Posts

🚨 Bill 54 gives the UCP power to fire elected municipal officials without cause. This isn't governance - it's authoritarianism. Albertans deserve democracy, not dictators. #BillNo54 #AbDemocracy #UCPAuthoritarianism

📞 TAKE ACTION: Call your MLA today about Bill 54. Tell them you won't stand for attacks on municipal democracy. Find your rep: assembly.ab.ca #AbDemocracy #BillNo54

### Facebook Posts

URGENT: The UCP's Bill 54 would fundamentally change how democracy works in Alberta. This bill would give the provincial government unprecedented power to fire elected municipal officials, override local decisions, and impose their will on communities across Alberta. This isn't about left vs right - it's about democracy vs authoritarianism.

### Instagram Captions

Democracy isn't a spectator sport 🗳️ Bill 54 would let the UCP government fire YOUR elected municipal representatives. The people YOU voted for could be removed by politicians YOU didn't elect. We can't let this stand. #BillNo54 #AbDemocracy #LocalDemocracy #Democracy
