Working Families Edmonton
Working Families Edmonton is a broad-based collective of voices ranging from community members/organizations, local activists, and unions. We came together in 2021 with the hope that with information and transparency, the voice of working families can finally be heard within City Hall and their priorities will be echoed by policies.
What issues do you care about as you consider who to vote for in the 2025 municipal election, and why?
- Affordability - Stick to core services so property tax increases can be more manageable. This means stop giving our tax dollars to profitable companies and billionaires.
- Housing & Social Disorder - Require that major developments devote a certain amount of housing to be truly affordable or increase the payment to the city so it can be produced if not. People need a place to go, this will help with public perceptions of safety.
- Stop Privatization - Invest in our core services as needed. Privatization never leads to better services or less cost. It only means that funds need to be set aside for profits. We need services, not profits for the wealthy.
