Day of Action & BBQ
We're building power together. And we need you.
We love living in Alberta and we're proud of our province. But Danielle Smith and the UCP are threatening the things that make life in Alberta wonderful.
The UCP have attacked our public services like health care and public education. They've sold off our public assets to the highest bidder. They've worked to line the pockets of wealthy CEOs and shareholders on the backs of Albertans. And they staunchly refuse to take any action on the climate crisis.
We deserve better. And together, we're going to make it happen.
Political organizing is a craft - no one is born knowing how to do it, and you get better by practicing. The first step to making change is learning how to have conversations with our neighbours and community members. That's why we're hosting a Day of Action to build and practice our skills in community organizing!
The Day of Action will be a fun and easy introduction to political mobilization, followed by a FREE family-friendly BBQ and social. All are welcome!
We can't wait to see you there!
