@phendrana @TheBCFS @AlbertaStudents @ur_spsa The "pay to play" model of organized advocacy has kept representation in Ottawa out of reach of our members until now.

No one, including our 33 western-located member associations, should be left out of the national student movement because they struggle to afford it.

Western post-secondary students have not been represented in Ottawa for years.

We are a partnership of student advocacy organizations and associations with a collective membership of 281,000 students.

Western Students will be heard.

Remove the interest on all federal student loans.

Justin Trudeau and the Liberal govt shouldn't profit a penny off young people, not in a pandemic, not ever.

You may be eligible for immigration programs to help you stay in Canada.

@phendrana @TheBCFS @AlbertaStudents @ur_spsa The current model of federal student advo is prohibitively expensive for our members.

Our FREE model is focused on supporting their participation.

Our members chose to focus on issues with national, not isolationist, implications. We couldn't be more proud.

@phendrana @TheBCFS @AlbertaStudents @ur_spsa With the example of the PSSSP, we are arguing that the program should be responsibly funded- not that it's only us affected.

We don't think one-time funding is appropriate for permanent, national, program. Indigenous students deserve and are entitled to an ongoing commitment.

@phendrana @TheBCFS @AlbertaStudents @ur_spsa Hey Duncan, you make a great point! our priorities ARE broadly focused.

Our approach is to speak to national issues, but until now, a seat at the federal table for our 33 member associations has been inaccessible. Our goal is participation, not competition.

[Federal Student Advocacy Alliance @FSAA_Western]

Here are the issues we are bringing to the Government of Canada on behalf of our membership!

At our inaugural conference in November of 2020, our organization identified a series of priorities, seen here:

Happy to announce that the FSAA met with @CQualtro to discuss essential issues affecting Western Canadian post-secondary students!

Our concerns were heard- looking forward to working together on our upcoming initiatives!
