Working for social change. Wednesday, September 25, 2013. Declining numbers of women candidates for Calgary City Council. In my understanding of democracy, it functions best when the full range of perspectives in the community can be heard as a part of the democratic dialogue. In a “representative democracy” like ours is supposed to be, this means that the representatives should probably roughly match the makeup of the population they are to represent. Why so few women? The following factors are generali...
Voice of Grant: November 2012
http://blog.grantneufeld.ca/2012_11_01_archive.html
Working for social change. Friday, November 9, 2012. Lest we remember the veterans left disabled, impoverished, and denied supports. Lest we remember the internalized violence of the military, the brutality, the “friendly-fire”. Lest we remember the countless women soldiers sexually violated and shunned by the military. Lest we remember the military families turning to food banks and charities for support. Lest we remember the facts about past wars, rather than opportunistic jingoism. Lest we remember th...

Working for social change. Monday, July 20, 2015. When I hear a survivor speak. Sadness is not my emotion when I hear a survivor speak. I feel gratitude to them. I feel pride from them. I feel power with them. Every word made by a survivor is a solid stone in the foundation we are building on which our voices will grow. Save the sadness for the countless still unheard. Still silenced by their violators. Still silenced by communities afraid to face our long histories of collective failures. For this year'...
