What do Iceland, Mexico and New Zealand have in common?


On at least one fundamental measure, they’re more democratic than Canada. That’s because in recent years they’ve adapted their political systems to ensure that women’s perspectives and experiences are meaningfully reflected in government decision-making.

Our Land Acknowledgment

Balance the Power acknowledges that the land on which we live and work is the homeland of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, who have lived on it for millennia. We recognize the genocidal policies implemented against Indigenous peoples by settlers and many elected governments. We profoundly regret that historical and contemporary policies continue to disenfranchise Indigenous communities.

On Indigenous Inclusion

Meaningful participation and inclusion of Indigenous women and gender-diverse people is central to the premise and spirit of this campaign. We have and will continue to seek Indigenous perspectives and experiences to inform and guide this campaign.

Take Action

Urge your elected representatives to sign the pledge to increase the diversity and representation of women and equity-deserving communities in our elected bodies.
