You've heard about the flat earther running for school board, but meet @hollyfortrustee.bsky.social, the competent, passionate and brilliant candidate I'm rooting for to win.

She's going to fight to ensure public dollars stay in the public system, and teachers have the supports they need.

Slurpies after an amazing evening canvassing in today’s heat! The residents of Breckenridge & Potter Greens were dialed in on how underfunded our public education system is. The support my campaign received on the doors tonight reinforced that when we fight - we win!

Another lawn sign ordered, and my heart is full. Every sign, every donation, and every volunteer is a powerful statement in support of strong, inclusive, and fully funded public education in Ward C and Edmonton Public.

While students, teachers, EA’s, and staff head into a well-earned summer break, we’re kicking things into high gear.

Now is the time to stand up for public education, advocate for properly funded classrooms, and well-supported schools for every learner.

Check my link in bio for ways to support!

Nope. We aren’t doing this. We aren’t punching down on the disabled kids and blaming it on the teachers. Smith’s plan all along has been the dismantling of public education through the erosion of funding out of the public and into the private. I absolutely will not stand for this. No trustee should.

The Breakdown AB @thebreakdownab.bsky.social · May 20

Smith on segregating disabled kids in school.

After she implied that it was the fault of disabled kids that teachers refused their contract...

Smith said, "We've gone down the path of inclusion for some time, I think most students can be included but maybe some can't".

Parents and advocates of autistic children know all too well that advocating for our kids isn’t limited to just the month of April. All year we work hard to ensure continued access and inclusion because we know the true value our children bring to society. 🧵3/3

One of the most important ways to honour our neurodiverse children is through truly inclusive public education. When schools provide access to accommodations and supports in classrooms, all children excel. 🧵2/3

April is Autism Acceptance Month and today specifically is World Autism Acceptance Day!

This month is about growing society’s acceptance of Autism and appreciating the joy and diversity our autistic friends, family, and community members bring to our lives. 🧵1/3

Trans rights are human rights.

Bills 26, 27, and 29 harm trans people across Alberta, particularly students and student-athletes.

Trans students deserve to be seen, heard, and valued for exactly who they are.

We may have had the arrival of 4th Winter this week in Edmonton - but no amount of snow could have affected how amazing and inspiring the last two days were at the
@pialberta.bsky.social Conference!

Full shot of two groups of people, at a conference.

On the left, a group of five women stand in front of a backdrop with a design that resembles a stylized flower or blossom. They are smiling and appear to be posing for a photo.

On the right, a group of three people stand in front of a similar, but different, backdrop with the words "PIA CONFERENCE 2025".

Every student has the right to a quality, fully-funded #publiceducation.

Schools must be resourced to meet the needs of every student, no matter the building's age or community income.

Inclusive education benefits ALL students.

A woman is holding a sign that reads "EVERY STUDENT. EVERY NEED. EVERY SCHOOL." She stands outdoors in front of a tree under an open sky, dressed in jeans and a jacket. This scene suggests a demonstration or presentation, embodying themes of rebellion and advocacy for educational needs at the Alberta Legislature grounds.

It's time for change so I have decided to throw my hat in the ring for @epsbnews.bsky.social Trustee for Ward C.
#abed #epsb #publiceducation #edmontonelections #yegvotes

Infographic with the following text:
As a mother of two children with disabilities and the wife of a retired Army Veteran, I understand the importance of standing up for those who need support. With 15 years of experience in post-secondary education and having my own family in the public system, I’ve seen firsthand the vital role of public education.

Right now, Alberta’s public education system is under attack with funding cuts that threaten the future of our children. I’m ready to fight for the rights of every student—ensuring a quality, inclusive, and accessible education for all. It's time to stand up for public education and ensure our public dollars stay in the public system.
