PADA creates space for disabled Albertans to connect, share information, and respond collectively. For those who cannot safely advocate alone due to health, poverty, or fear of retaliation, we provide a collective voice and shared support.

PADA is a disability-led alliance advocating for fair, accessible, and humane public policy in Alberta. We centre lived experience to ensure decisions about disability supports reflect real-world impacts, not assumptions made without disabled people at the table.

PADA educates the public, media, and decision-makers about disability, accessibility, and income security. We translate complex policy into plain language so people understand what is changing, who is affected, and why it matters.

PADA holds governments and institutions accountable when policies harm disabled people. We document impacts, elevate concerns, and push for meaningful consultation and long-term systems change.
