Albertans are at a turning point.

Across our province, people are feeling the strain — from healthcare workers facing burnout, to parents worried about their children’s future, to teachers navigating under-resourced classrooms, to workers and unions advocating for fairness and stability. At the same time, many marginalized communities continue to face disproportionate impacts from policy decisions that fail to recognize the reality of intersectionality — how overlapping identities shape people’s access to opportunity, safety, and care.

These challenges are not isolated. They are connected.

And yet, instead of addressing these urgent, shared concerns, we are seeing increasing political rhetoric around separation and division — conversations that create uncertainty, distract from real issues, and risk destabilizing the future of our province.

This is not the Alberta we want.

We believe in a province that is compassionate, inclusive, and grounded in the understanding that strong communities are built by supporting one another — across professions, backgrounds, and lived experiences.

We are calling on the Government of Alberta to:

Publicly reject and denounce any movement toward Alberta’s separation from Canada or alignment with the United States, or with any external political entity or agenda that does not reflect the best interests, rights, and well-being of Albertans

Reaffirm its commitment to a strong, united Canada

Reverse policies that have harmed access to public healthcare, public education, and essential social supports

Engage meaningfully and respectfully with healthcare workers, educators, parents, unions, Indigenous leadership — including Chiefs and governing bodies — and diverse community leaders, ensuring their voices are not only heard but reflected in policy decisions

Commit to transparent, evidence-based policies that recognize intersectionality and prioritize equity, affordability, and the protection of all Albertans — especially those most vulnerable

This is about more than politics.

It is about people — the nurses and doctors holding our healthcare system together, the teachers shaping the next generation, the families trying to make ends meet, the workers building this province, and the communities too often left unheard. It is also about saving lives. When healthcare systems are strained, and when policies affecting mental health, addiction supports, unhoused populations, and marginalized groups — including trans communities — are weakened or repealed, the consequences are not abstract. They are immediate, and they are human. People are put at greater risk. Lives are affected, and in some cases, lost.

Albertans deserve leadership that reflects the full diversity, dignity, and humanity of the people it serves.

By signing this petition, you are standing for a future rooted in stability, equity, and collective care.
