US soldiers who came to Canada after refusing to participate in the war were welcomed by Canadians, as Vietnam resisters had been. Yet the Conservative government has ignored this support and two motions passed by Parliament and has worked to force war resisters back to the US where they face harsh punishment. Most recently, Kim Rivera and her family were forced out and Kim is now awaiting court martial for her conscientious stand. Since the Rivera family was forced out, the federal court issued a decision that found that the US military justice system doesn’t meet international standards for fairness. Please join us for this panel discussion to help raise much needed funds for Kim’s legal defense as she faces court-martial on April 29th.<br><br>Organized by the War Resisters Support Campaign • <a href="http://www.resisters.ca">www.resisters.ca</a><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">The Toronto chapter of Action by Christians for the Abolition of Torture (ACAT Canada) is sponsoring a panel:</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="5" color="#c500b9"><b>Entertaining Torture: Zero Dark Thirty and the Hollywood Embrace of Torture</b></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Monday, March 25, 7:30 pm</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Windermere United Church (corner of Windermere Ave. and south of Bloor Street West.

The Alberta Tar Sands is just one aspect of this industry and one of the fastest growing contributors to climate change. Indigenous communities downstream from the Tar Sands in Alberta continue to face the devastating health and environmental impacts of the pollutants and toxins. Oil spills in both Canada and the U.S have prompted action across Southern Ontario to oppose the pumping of Alberta Tar Sands bitumen by Enbridge Line 9 from Sarnia and through Toronto to Montreal. <br><br>From February 14th-18th, Indigenous organizers from communities directly affected by resource extraction, along with non-Indigenous delegates from the Tar Sands blockade and the No Line 9 Reversal Campaign, traveled to the Earth First! conference in the U.S to speak on a roundtable about resistance to the tar sands expansion project and to work towards developing collective strategies for resistance. This report back from attendees of the conference will include sharing strategies for supporting indigenous nations struggling against the tar sands and how we can build a broader movement against ecocide and colonialism. <br><br>Organized by the Association of Part Time Undergraduate Students (APUS), University of Toronto Graduate Students Union and OPIRG-Toronto.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/546371245396462/">https://www.facebook.com/events/546371245396462/</a></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</span></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><br><b><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#df7b00">Who Pays for Regional Transportation?<br></font></b></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Tues.

How does this affect your work? Using an interactive games-based approach, this workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to learn about the barriers faced by undocumented residents in accessing services, and will also provide an opportunity for participants to share their successes and challenges in trying to making their agencies more accessible to undocumented residents. In particular, through the use of "forum theatre", participants will be able to experiment with ways that their agencies might be changed in order to help build a city where everyone can access services without fear of detention and deportation. Participants' own knowledge and experiences will be supplemented by concrete tools and information regarding the legal rights that undocumented residents have, and the legal issues that can come up when immigration enforcement visits an agency. Service providers will also receive a comprehensive package containing: a ''Know Your Rights'' booklet for undocumented residents. legal information for service providers, access to a video on the pressures faced by undocumented residents, a list of agencies that service providers can refer clients to<br><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">The workshop is FREE though registration is limited to 25 participants.

Dozens of powerful deputations were presented by those with experience of homelessness, front line workers and advocates. Despite a staff report still trying to suggest that the shelters were adequate, the myth of a system that is coping with the needs of those on the streets died on the floor of that committee room. Its members called on Council to return to a policy of opening more shelter spaces when the system reached 90% capacity but, astoundingly, recommended only that 172 'flex beds' be opened. This means putting down mats on the floor of already overcrowded shelters and pushing capacity well beyond 96%. At the same time, the church run Out-of-the-Cold program is set to close at the end of March meaning more people will be looking for a bed in even fewer spaces. <br><br>There is no getting around it - we need new shelter space opened up immediately. When this issue comes back to City Council on April 3rd, that is the decision that needs to be made by councillors. So, we are holding a rally and community meal for the homeless and all supporters on March 28 at Metro Hall - a building that was opened to the homeless in 1999 and could be open again. And we are going back to City Council on April 3rd to show that we are not backing down. <br><br>It has been suggested that we must move away from shelters and create housing - and we agree that we have to build a movement that fights for the right of everyone to have a home. But a City that lets people die on the streets for lack of shelter beds has no intention of housing them. And a City that has 90 000 households on the waiting list for social housing and skyrocketing rents cannot deny the necessity of shelters. We must force those in power to deal with the immediate crisis on the streets and open new shelter space without further excuses or delays. </span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>Ontario Coalition Against Poverty <a href="http://www.ocap.ca">www.ocap.ca</a> 416-925-6939<br>@OCAPtoronto #TakeShelter #NoHomelessDeaths</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="5" color="#0f9a19"><b>Navigating Conflict</b></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>Saturday March 30, 1 - 4 p.m.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">U of T location</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>The purpose of this workshop is to provide techniques for resolving conflict within our groups, as well as long-term strategies to build a climate of equity, constructive debate and internal cooperation.
