Nothing About Us Without Us Campaign

Support Self-Advocacy to empower change for Albertans with Disabilities

For 28 years, the Disability Action Hall has been a vital force for change, fuelled by lived experience. But with 27% of Albertans living with a disability, the fight for equitable access is far from over. While the Disability Action has ended, we are still accepting donations to the Scope Society of Alberta earmarked towards self-advocacy to help fuel future efforts. 

People asked, "How can we help?" Here are some ideas we have...

Nothing About Us Without Us

Here are four ways to help us for the future of self-advocacy...

1. Grant Writing Guidance

We want to grow our work, but we need help navigating grants and funding:

• Mentor us or share your expertise
• Help us access resources to strengthen self‑advocacy

We need your guidance to secure funding that allows self‑advocates to lead.

2. Help us raise awareness for lived expertise, Book Us for a Presentation or Consult (Fee for service)

Invite us to your organization, school, or event:

• Share lived experience stories
• Raise awareness about inclusion
• Discuss ways to centre self‑advocates in decisions

“We’ll bring our stories, passion, and ideas — and learn from you too.”

3. Support & Fundraise

Every donation helps us:

• Run workshops and events
• Grow self‑advocacy skills across Alberta
• Create more spaces where people with lived experience lead

Support our work through the Scope Society of Alberta (Formerly Calgary Scope Society) using the Canada Helps page 

(Official charitable receipts will be provided for donations of $25 or more, and specify the Disability Action Hall in the pull-down menu.
