Join MLA Marie Renaud, Shadow Minister for Community and Social Services, disability advocate Zachary Weeks, and Michelle Kristinson from the Alberta Ability Network for a live educational session focused on practical advocacy tools.

Many Albertans are asking the same question:
What can we actually do about the cuts to disability services?

This session is about action. Not just frustration. Not just discussion. Real strategies you can use to speak up, organize effectively, and push back in informed and coordinated ways.

We will cover:

• What is happening with disability services in Alberta and why it matters
• What you can do to push back effectively
• How to have informed conversations with family, friends, and allies
• Practical tools you can use and share to build momentum
• How we fight back strategically and collectively

This conversation is grounded in lived experience, legislative insight, and community organizing.

If you care about disability rights in Alberta, this session will give you the tools to move from concern to action.
