<h2>🏛️ Democracy Under Attack</h2>
|
|
<p><strong>The UCP's Bill 54 is just the beginning.</strong> 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.</p>

<h3>🤝 The Solution: Worker Ownership</h3>
|

<p>When workers own businesses collectively, profits stay in communities. When workers have power, they vote for policies that benefit working families, not just shareholders.</p>
