For a little while, things have been quiet on our end. But outside, the noise has been getting louder.
With less than two years until the next provincial election, the political landscape in Alberta has shifted.
It is critical that we begin a new roadmap to electoral outcomes that will defend queer, trans, and human rights in this province.
We knew that to win this fight, TransAction Alberta needed to come back stronger, sharper, and louder than ever. We needed leadership that understands both the streets and the halls of power.
We are proud to announce that TransAction Alberta has returned, redoubling our fight with a new Executive Director: Dr. Victoria Bucholtz.
Victoria is the exact leader we need for this moment:
She is a relentless advocate: She was recently awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal (2025) for services to Canada and was named one of the "20 Most Compelling Calgarians".
She is an expert: Holding a doctorate in History and Gender Theory, she is an instructor at Mount Royal University and an experienced EDI consultant.
She knows our community: You might know her better as Karla Marx, the performance artist and co-creator of Queer Citizens United.
Victoria believes that a variety of approaches are necessary for a progressive victory. She is already hitting the ground running to mobilize a grassroots coalition of Albertans who believe everyone is welcome here.
TransAction Alberta is back. We have the leadership. Now, we get to work.
Keep an eye on your inbox–Victoria will be writing to you personally in a few days to share her 2026 Action Plan.
