Equity is fundamental to our work and our perspective. We are committed to ensuring that all voices, particularly those of marginalized and underrepresented communities, are empowered in our efforts to reform our democracy. We believe that a truly democratic system must be inclusive, equitable, and accessible providing all individuals with the opportunity to participate fully and fairly in the political process.

**We acknowledge that before what is now known as Canadian democracy, Indigenous peoples in Canada had their own forms of governance since time immemorial. We acknowledge the systemic harms that have resulted from their forcible replacement by the institutions that uphold Canadian democracy today. We believe that by building a better democracy, all Canadians can contribute more to fulfilling the 94 Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.**
