We're back! This season we join @Aknowmadic and @kerentangyeg on the campaign trail. We get their perspective on mobility, local economy and gain insight into what it's like campaigning as candidates who're of Somali and Chinese decent https://t.co/FdCWphn68o

Not sure where to begin with this. Council has not made any move to cut police funding at this point. Also, this kind of lecture is a bit rich from a government that has tools/responsibility to help #yeg's crisis but has instead chosen the path of abdication and blame.

#SikhHeritageMonth begins today, and this is deeply personal for me. #YEG’s Sikh community has made many contributions to our city since immigrating here in the 19th century and I now serve as Canada’s first Sikh Mayor, a title that I am proud to share with @JyotiGondek.

Monica Helms designed the first transgender pride flag in 1999. Helms, a trans activist, donated multiple objects to our @amhistorymuseum, where this flag is part of the collection.

Dear @CityofCalgary…

[Wati Rahmat 🍉 @warriorwati]

The news of the latest attack on a Black Muslim sister in Edmonton is disturbing & triggering. Reach out to Sisters Dialogue via DM or email [email protected] if you need mental health support. We can provide 5 free sessions with a culturally appropriate therapist.

[CBC Edmonton @CBCEdmonton]

It is with deep sadness that we share the news today that our colleague Adrienne Pan died Saturday. Adrienne had hosted Radio Active since 2018. Adrienne will be dearly missed by all of us at CBC Edmonton. https://t.co/nBEQhbeDFO

[Ahmed Ali @AKnowmadic]

Watch out for all these wonderful folks and more volunteers at the doors today.

E-2 and then momentum is unreal. Final push. #yegvote #yegcc

[Keren Tang @kerentangyeg]

Imagine... "[Politicking/politics] as community building and providing people with an opportunity to thrive." @AKnowmadic

This is the kind of politics that I'm here for. "Let's vote for hope this year." @LisaPrudenPants

[Keren Tang @kerentangyeg]

"In an era where politics is often reduced to soundbites or tweets, it's nice to have some space for long-form, thoughtful conversations (...) to keep it real, to keep it erudite, to get into the weeds of some of the issues." @somaryaqub

Working with @PharmMorenike on forums about political participation of BIPoC women; building @otherwiseshow podcast together with friends like @ahmedali; and co-creating spaces where communities of colour can openly engage with one another has been a privilege. #community

[Keren Tang @kerentangyeg]

I've crossed paths with @PharmMorenike often, like when we strategized about how to ensure Black-led organizations like @RibbonRouge have the resources to do important equity work. Through it all, I've learned an incredible amount from her. Thank you, my friend 💜 #yegwomen

[OtherWise @otherwise_show]

Very much appreciate this opportunity to share our stories. Thank you to @SKomadinaGlobal and @GlobalEdmonton!

In our latest episode "Can we talk?" @AKnowmadic & @kerentangyeg reflect on their experiences door-to-door, the kindness, frustrations, & what engagement truly means.

[Global Edmonton @GlobalEdmonton]

Running for council can be a difficult journey, but for people of colour there can be additional challenges. Now, some are sharing their experiences through a podcast. @SKomadinaGlobal has the details.
