Hunger and poverty are intentional features of capitalism and will increase as corporate power increases. Over 25,000 people die every day because of hunger often as tons of food pass them on the way to better prices. Oxfam and the UN are reporting that hunger will be on the increase this year leading to civil unrest and violent police repression. The capitalist food system is not only causing millions of animals to suffer but is directly responsible for an increase in food insecurity, disease and the climate crisis. Keith's presentation will inspire participation in the transition to a future free from violence and exploitation.</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/366730833461923">https://www.facebook.com/events/366730833461923</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><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'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#00a352"><b>Animal Rights Academy</b></font><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">With Kerry Bowman, bioethicist and conservationist, founding president of the Canadian Ape Alliance</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Thursday Nov. 7, 7:10 p.m. - 9:15 p.m. </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">100 St. George (Sidney Smith building), University of Toronto, room 2105</span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">The first hour is the lecture, and the second hour an open discussion. </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Free and open to the public.

The film argues that the gas industry's portrayal of natural gas as a clean and safe alternative to oil is a myth and that fracked wells inevitably leak over time, contaminating water and air, hurting families, and endangering the earth's climate with the potent greenhouse gas, methane. In addition the film looks at how the powerful oil and gas industries are in Fox's words "contaminating democracy."</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/534734813269084/">https://www.facebook.com/events/534734813269084/</a></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>---------------------------------------<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'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#00a508"><b>How to Make Activism a Lifelong Commitment<br></b></font><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Saturday, November 9, 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;">Trainer: Lesley Wood<br>Why are there so few activists over thirty?
