Defending Democracy in Alberta

The Alberta Democracy Taskforce is a coalition committed to protecting and expanding democratic rights in the face of the UCP government's authoritarian overreach. We believe that democracy should serve the people, not wealthy elites and corporations.

Our Mission

We stand for:

  • Expanding voting access for all Albertans
  • Getting big money out of politics through public financing and strict donation limits
  • Protecting electoral integrity with proper oversight and modern counting methods
  • Defending local democracy against partisan interference
  • Supporting workers' political rights and union participation in democracy

Democracy requires your participation. Explore our site to learn about the threats facing Alberta's democratic institutions and how you can help defend them.
