Happy New Year, everyone!

As we step into 2025, let's embrace the opportunity to ignite positive change together. Let’s be the champions for those who often go unheard—let’s truly be “a voice for the voiceless.”

 I encourage you to share this petition widely; your voice can make a difference!

**UPDATE:**

I've refined the petition to better align with the guidelines for official petition submissions at The Manitoba Legislature. I invite you to visit the page and ensure you still agree with the petition. It has not changed in its core message. I have just removed my story and chosen to focus on the critical laws that need reform.

A heartfelt thank you to those outside of Manitoba and Canada for your incredible support; it truly amplifies our collective voices.

MEDIA SUPPORT

Recently, I participated in a two-part interview about this petition on *System kids”, a celebrated radio program dedicated to empowering youth in and from care. As a former youth in care, I strive to give back by sharing my journey through music and storytelling. This program and VOICES (the organization behind it) has always helped me to do that.
I am truly grateful to them and the interviewer Marie Christian. This interview emphasizes the importance of understanding your rights, finding your voice, and navigating grief. I hope you’ll take a moment to listen to part one, aired on December 24, 2024, and check back for part 2 (aired on December.31,2024) that will be posted shortly.

Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s continue this journey of advocacy and empowerment together.

With warmth and determination in 2025 and beyond,

Ingrid
