Laura Kruse
Laura Kruse is the Outreach Coordinator for the Alberta Public Interest Research Group. The main focus of her political work is anti-oppression, educational system reform, and issues in labour and migration. She frequently facilitates workshops around the city for student and community groups, and has attended the School of Unity and Liberation's Training for Trainers in Oakland, California. She has played a key part in coordinating many of APIRG major projects since 2015, including managing a plebiscite campaign to defend APIRG's funding structure and winning by a 13-point margin, and acting as the Alberta spokesperson for the victorious Parkdale Rent Strike in Toronto to resist gentrification. Laura is also an emerging keynote speaking, seen most recently at the Edmonton Chamber of Voluntary Organizations. When she’s not fighting for justice, she’s fighting in the ring as an amateur Thai kickboxing fighter and instructor.
