This weekend I was out in Ellerslie, connecting with neighbours and supporting Gurtej Singh Brar as he runs to represent this incredible community.
Always grateful for the conversations and the energy on the doors! 🧡

Pride Month is here, and I’m so proud to celebrate the strength and joy of Alberta’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Let’s keep showing up, standing strong, and making sure every Albertan knows they belong. 🌈

Happy Pride to Naheed and our team! May we be colorful, fruity, compassionate and building the dream! Always!
Pride is a time to celebrate love, community, and the progress we’ve fought for—but it’s also a reminder that the fight isn’t over.
We see you, we value you, and we’ll never stop fighting for a future where everyone can thrive and live a life of dignity.
Happy Pride, Alberta! 🌈 🧡

Literally this.
If you are a cis person, even if you are an expert in some field that affects trans people, and you *think* you know some facts about trans people, I can almost guarantee you believe some things that are insanely wrong.

It blows my mind every day. I think a lot of it also has to do with preconceived notions almost everyone has from all the myths they've heard their entire life about trans people. They think they already know everything, so why listen

Restorative justice can play a key role in helping build safer communities.
It's a voluntary process that brings victims, offenders & community together to address the harm cause by crime - a different path to address needs & hold offenders responsible.
