Group photo Imagine a Progressive Future. Speakers Dr. Victoria Bucholtz, Dr. Kristopher Wells, Janis Irwin
We proved last night that building community can be pretty simple: an idea, a few emails to speakers, and an invitation.
Just ordinary people who want to see their province move in a better direction. "Imagine a Progressive Future"
You don’t have to do everything—just something. #GiveVoice

What stood out most in our conversation is what we all share: a deep care for our community, a desire to get involved, and a genuine interest in meeting others who feel the same. Give Voice is growing, one meaningful connection at a time. #GiveVoice.
In your one-shot, how do you weave in a subplot that gives agency to a group that usually goes unheard?

How do you guide students through ethical dilemmas where the "monster" is actually a misunderstood, voiceless community?

Hope everyone has a peaceful weekend. With so much chaos at home and around the world, we all need time to rest, refuel, and take care of ourselves. 🌿
We’re still working behind the scenes on our website content—more to come soon.

A calming and inspirational image set in a quiet, shadowed forest. In the foreground, a single small green seedling has sprouted from rich soil. Sunlight filters softly through tall trees in the background, creating a gentle spotlight effect on the young plant. The image is visually tranquil, evoking growth, patience, and resilience. Overlaid text in a soft serif font reads: “You’re allowed to begin small. To stretch toward light in your own way. Bloom where you are.” The tone is gentle and encouraging, inviting the viewer to embrace gradual growth, personal pace, and the power of showing up—no matter how small the beginning may seem. The message affirms quiet persistence, resilience, and authenticity.
We’re all allowed to begin where we are.
To grow in our own time, in our own way.
There’s no shame in starting small. 🌱

An inspirational quote graphic featuring a faded photograph of a wooden park gazebo surrounded by green grass and trees. Overlaid in bold serif font, the text reads: “Hope Is Resistance.” Below, in smaller font, is a quote from Ruth Ben-Ghiat: “‘Hope is a precondition of resistance—because it keeps alive the idea that another future is possible.’” The background has a soft yellow-brown overlay to create a warm, hopeful tone. The image evokes reflection, community, and perseverance.
Ruth Ben-Ghiat is a historian and expert on authoritarianism.
She dropped this nugget of wisdom today — and it landed hard:
🟤 “Hope is a precondition of resistance—because it keeps alive the idea that another future is possible.”

A brand new 4-part myth-busting series from Give Voice:
Grievance Myths — the loudest claims, calmly unpacked.
🌿 Alberta tone, backed by facts.
📊 One myth at a time.
💬 Built for real conversations.
#MythBusters #GiveVoice
A digital infographic titled "MYTH #4: 'Real freedom means low taxes, no regulations, and gun rights!'" features a LEGO man in a business suit looking skeptical. The image breaks down this myth across several colored panels. In the yellow "Talking Point" box, it states: "Flat taxes help the wealthy. Deregulation risks public health and the environment. Crown land is bound by treaties — it’s not Alberta’s to take. Freedom without responsibility leads to collapse, not liberty." In the blue "Reality" box, it counters: "Flat taxes benefit the wealthy, deregulation puts public safety and the environment at risk, and Crown land is protected by treaties. Freedom without responsibility isn’t freedom — it’s collapse." A central question follows: "How does cutting regulations and taxes give us better schools, roads, or hospitals?" In the tan "Breakdown" section, it explains: Flat taxes shrink government capacity to fund public goods like healthcare and education, benefiting the rich while others lose support. Deregulation endangers the environment and public safety. Crown land is federally held and subject to treaty obligations with Indigenous Peoples; Alberta cannot simply claim it — treaty law and the Constitution prevent that. The source is cited as: School of Public Policy, Mitchell-MacLean (2025), and Mah (2022).
MYTH #4 of 8: “Freedom” sold as flat tax, deregulation, and guns doesn’t add up. It benefits the wealthy, risks public safety, and ignores treaty law.
