The Join Together Alberta campaign was conceived and launched jointly by a number of Alberta unions and union groups in cooperation with various community and advocacy groups.

All of the participating organizations share deep concerns about the impacts that deep cuts to public services will have on individuals, families and communities within Alberta.

They also share a belief that best way forward for Alberta is to embrace a high-road approach to our future — one that focuses on smart investments in people, communities and the economy — as opposed to a low-road approach —one that focuses on cutting spending and leaving individuals, families and communities to increasingly fend for themselves.

The organizations currently supporting the Join Together,Alberta campaign are listed below. As the campaign progresses, more groups and organization will be asked to add their names to the list of supporters. Individual Albertans are also part of this campaign, showing their support for the campaign and its goals.
