# 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
|
|
|
|
