I am sharing this hoping for more awareness and help to communities impacted by fire

It's clear that Proportional Representation shouldn't just be something we do once we get in government, but a policy that we should proactively advocate for and come to an agreement with the OLP on. The ONDP and OLP basically already coordinate on everything in the legislature anyways at the moment. We should get ahead and seize initiative

Hey all! Please let me know if this is too tangential to the NDP for posting here and I will delete it. I just thought this is a good place to get labour organizing expertise from a Canadian perspective.

I work in the nonprofit sector, specifically in capacity building for other nonprofits. For a long time, I’ve thought “you know what I think would build nonprofit capacity? A sector-wide union that advocates for the rights of nonprofit workers.” I’m in Alberta for context.

But I’m no labour organizer. I don’t know the first thing about this process. I work at a 9 person nonprofit organization and have never worked in a unionized environment. So I wanted to put this thought experiment out there to folks that know better than I do. If everything went correctly, what would the process be for starting a sector-wide union of nonprofits in Alberta? Or maybe something already exists in other provinces that we could join in on. I dunno! I’m open to suggestions.

Does current NDP have any kind of police policy? All the way from financial / organized crime / federal investigative power to bloated budgets of city police.

I believe this is something Mamdani sidestepped to not embark on unwinnable battle. It would be refreshing seeing something is done tho.

Hi! Wondering if anyone has insights on the Equity Commission to share on the questions below. I just filled out the form to join and was left wondering these 2 questions.

1. The form was short and I received an email after that just said “Name, Thank you for taking action.” - am I missing something or should I expect some sort of follow up? It looks like that’s the email from the platform they use rather than the party.

2. The commission I applied to join is the Indigenous Peoples’ Commission. As I said the form was very short. Just name, email, commission selection really. Do they verify Indigenous identity for members of this commission? Does it rely solely on self identification? I am very easily able to show “proof” I am Indigenous and demonstrate ties to community, but I am curious with “Pretendianism” being such an issue currently.

Thank you!
