Alberta Stands in Solidarity: May 29 Provincial Day of Action – MRFA Info Picket

Join the Mount Royal Faculty Association (MRFA) on May 29 for an Info Picket to stand in provincial solidarity, because our fundamental human rights and democratic processes in Alberta are worth protecting. Across the province, people are standing up to defend our shared future against a wave of recent legislative overreach. In the past eight months alone, the Alberta government has passed several pieces of restrictive legislation, including Bill 11 (introducing two-tier healthcare), Bill 12 (cutting crucial disability assistance and restructuring AISH), Bill 9 invoking the Notwithstanding Clause to strip transgender and gender-diverse Albertans of their constitutional protections, and Bill 2 (the Back to School Act), which invoked the Notwithstanding Clause to strip thousands of educators of their right to strike and collectively bargain. Alarmingly, a March 2026 Court of King’s Bench ruling dismissed an injunction challenge against Bill 2; the judge determined that the “balance of convenience” favored the province, effectively allowing the government to continue taking away fundamental workers’ constitutional rights simply as a matter of convenience rather than suspending the harmful legislation.

Your voice matters! Sign up here and show up for the May 29 Info Picket and how we will take a stand together.
