A province where democracy isn't just for the wealthy few, but belongs to everyone who calls Alberta home
The UCP's Bill 54 is just the beginning. While they restrict voting access and silence opposition voices, we envision an Alberta where democracy is expanded, not eroded. Where every worker, student, immigrant, and Indigenous person has not just a voice, but real power in shaping our collective future.
If you live here, work here, or pay taxes here - you vote here.
No more arbitrary citizenship requirements. Permanent residents, temporary workers, students, and all community members get a say in the decisions that affect their daily lives.
Democracy doesn't end at the factory gate.
Worker cooperatives, union representation on corporate boards, and employee ownership programs. When workers control their workplaces, they control their communities.
Real local control over local issues.
Participatory budgeting, community assemblies, and neighbourhood councils with actual decision-making power over housing, transit, and development.
Join thousands working toward democratic socialism in Alberta
Register every Albertan automatically when they turn 18, get a health card, file taxes, or establish residency. No bureaucratic barriers.
Polling stations in every major workplace. Paid time off to vote. Make it easier to participate than not to participate.
Municipal voting rights for all residents regardless of citizenship status. If you live in the community, you get a say in how it's run.
Secure online voting options, digital town halls, and mobile polling for rural and remote communities.
Ballots and voting information in all community languages. Democracy shouldn't require perfect English.
Every polling station fully accessible. Home voting for seniors and disabled community members. No one left behind.
Giant corporations and wealthy donors buy elections while working families struggle to afford housing, healthcare, and education. This isn't democracy - it's oligarchy.
When workers own businesses collectively, profits stay in communities. When workers have power, they vote for policies that benefit working families, not just shareholders.
Public funding for worker cooperatives and employee stock ownership plans. Transform capitalism from within.
A provincial bank owned by and accountable to Albertans, not Wall Street shareholders. Looking at you ATB.
Community-owned renewable energy projects. Let communities profit from their own resources.
Public housing development, tenant cooperatives, and community land trusts to end housing as a commodity.
The UCP's "democracy" continues 150+ years of colonial domination. Bill 54 affects Indigenous communities who were never consulted about its impacts on their governance and rights.
Guaranteed Indigenous representation in provincial government. Recognition of Indigenous law and governance. Land back and resource sharing agreements that respect Indigenous sovereignty.
Lower the voting age to 16 for all elections. Young people work, pay taxes, and live with political consequences longer than anyone.
Student representation on school boards. Student unions with real power over curriculum and school policy.
Citizens' assemblies with youth leadership to plan Alberta's just transition to renewable energy.
Public employment programs focused on climate action, care work, and community building.
Every victory for democracy started with people who refused to accept the status quo. The eight-hour work day, women's suffrage, Indigenous rights - all won through organized struggle by ordinary people who demanded something better.
