Political Advocacy

ACWS relations within the political platform.

In April 2019, the ACWS circulated an election platform to several political parties including the NDP, UCP, Alberta Party, Liberals, and Freedom Conservative Party. This platform, titled Putting Safety First: A Plan to Help End Domestic Violence in Alberta, is based on consultations with ACWS members and Board. The document is useful as a primer to ask questions of the candidates in your constituency.
