Women are being hit particularly hard. In Canada, sixty percent of minimum wage workers are women. Ninety percent of the families accessing emergency shelters are headed by single mothers. And 1.5 million women live in poverty. Migrant, Indigenous and racialized women are being disproportionately crushed by our rigged economy. Women are holding together the threads of our frayed social safety net while their work remains underpaid and underappreciated. Classrooms are bursting at the seams. Hospitals are overflowing. Care homes are understaffed. And daycare waitlists are never ending. None of this is by accident. It is a direct result of decades of Liberal and Conservative cuts that have prioritized corporate profit over care. More than ever, women’s rights and gender equality are under attack both here in Canada and around the world.</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://act.lewisforleader.ca/solidarity-session-4">https://act.lewisforleader.ca/solidarity-session-4</a></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#C00000'>Women and War: U.S. History of Militarism and Camptowns in South Korea<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Mon. Jan. 26, 8:30 pm ET </span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Join us for a webinar on the history of U.S. militarism and camptowns in Korea, and the impact on Korean women. Studies have long shown that in war and militarism, women are disproportionately harmed and sustain severe human rights abuses. For decades in South Korea, military camptowns surrounding bases have been the site of harm and human rights abuses against Korean women. In 2022, the South Korean Supreme Court found that sex trafficking and illegal prostitution economies existed at U.S. military camptowns from at least 1957 to 2008, and held the Korean government liable for operating and encouraging such prostitution to sustain the South Korea-U.S. military alliance. This past fall, Korean organizers filed a new lawsuit building on that ruling. The 117 plaintiffs are suing the South Korean government for gender-based human rights abuses inflicted by U.S. forces stationed in Korea (U.S.F.K.). This is yet another chapter in the long history of the disproportionate impact and harm sustained by women in Korea as a result of U.S. militarism.

Extreme wildfire events in cities and towns are increasingly common. Are we developing strategies to deal with these events when they happen? How can we adapt to an increasingly dangerous environment? Accelerating climate change, largely from the burning of fossil fuels, makes wildfires bigger, hotter, and more frequent. They are devastating our forests and threatening our towns and cities. We have experienced choking smoke in our urban areas, and where there is smoke, there is fire. Fort MacMurray, Jasper, Lytton, Flin Flon, Halifax…Who’s next? Join us for a timely look at the dangers of climate-changed wildfires, how we can reduce the risk, and how we can adapt before it’s too late.

This nuclear megaproject will cost at least $230 billion and will lead to a dramatic rise in Ontario’s electricity rates and/or taxes. New nuclear reactors are the highest cost option to meet our electricity needs: up to 10 times higher than energy efficiency, and 2 to 8 times higher than new wind and solar energy. What are the alternatives to this project? And how can we engage?

Yet a little-known but powerful legal mechanism is undermining climate action worldwide. This mechanism, known as Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), allows fossil fuel companies to sue governments over policies designed to meet climate commitments and protect the environment. Even the threat of an ISDS claim can pressure governments into reversing, weakening, or abandoning legitimate public-interest policies. The ISDS regime disproportionately impacts Global South countries, which face the majority of claims, while most investors come from a small number of wealthy nations (including Canada) – reinforcing deep global inequalities.
