The Ontario Liberals went after teachers last year, and this year have only proposed a minimum increase in the minimum wage under pressure from mobilizations. Meanwhile the Ontario NDP is silent on the threat of "right to work" and the demand for a $14/hr minimum wage. What can we learn from the US, where fast food and retail workers have fought for a $15/hr minimum wage and unionization, and where Seattle city councilor Kshama Sawant won a historic election by giving voice to this campaign? How can we build the movement in Ontario for a $14/hr minimum wage, alongside rebuilding unions to confront "right-to-work"?

McAlevey’s experiences organizing in the student, environmental justice and union movement reflect her central belief that meaningful change can only come with ”whole-worker organizing” that puts ordinary people at the center of their own struggle, in their workplaces and in their communities.</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/255929324574924/">https://www.facebook.com/events/255929324574924/</a><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://www.workersassembly.ca">www.workersassembly.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>---------------------------------------<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><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="5" color="#00ad64"><b>Animal Rights Academy - with Zipporah Weisberg on Animal Ethics<br></b></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>Thur.

Norman (Otis) Richmond, aka Jalali, grew up in Los Angeles. He left after refusing to fight in Vietnam because he felt that, like the Vietnamese, Africans in the USA were colonial subjects. Richmond moved to Toronto, where he cofounded the Afro American Progressive Association, one of the first Black Power organizations in Canada. In 1992, Richmond received the Toronto Arts Award.

Are there better alternatives to the current path? The stage will be set with a presentation of “Do the Math,” a film by <a href="http://350.org">350.org</a>, and a summary of that organization’s University of Toronto divestment campaign. Keynote Speakers include Fletcher Harper (GreenFaith US), Jane Ambachtsheer (Mercer, Toronto/Global), Mike Brigham (SolarShare, Ontario), and Christine Boyle (Spirited Social Change, Vancouver).

The theme of the 2014 forum is "Divestment or What? Economic Tools for Creation Advocacy in a Time of Crisis." Its purpose is to create a space where we can openly explore the dilemma presented by our personal and institutional enmeshment in a fossil-fuel based economy. The "‘Do the Math" campaign has highlighted for many of us the disastrous environmental consequences of continued reliance on fossil fuels – and yet many of our private and institutional investment strategies are built around that reliance. What is the way forward?<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• Is there a moral imperative for faith communities to divest from fossil fuels and invest in a clean energy future? <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• Are there alternative green investment strategies open to Canadian institutions that rely on return on capital to fund good work? <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• What are some of the practical, economic and fiduciary restraints facing charities, faith communities, and individuals that need to be understood?<br><a href="http://bit.ly/MmIJ0U">http://bit.ly/MmIJ0U</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>---------------------------------------<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="#c700d6"><b>Winter Tree Identification Tour<br></b></font><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Saturday, March 1, 1 - 3 p.m.<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Trinity Community Recreation Centre (in Trinity Bellwoods Park), 155 Crawford St.<br>$5 suggested donation<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Ever wanted to learn how to identify trees in winter?

Join us for a one-day conference at York that looks at how capitalism benefits from high student debt and low-wage jobs, and how students can be part of the struggle for free tuition, a living wage, good jobs and a better future.<br><a href="http://www.socialist.ca/">http://www.socialist.ca/</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><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</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'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#009d33"><b>Organizing Against Multiple Oppression in Our Time<br></b></font><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Saturday March 1, 7 pm - 9 pm </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Beit Zatoun, 612 Markham St. (Bloor and Bathurst)</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">How does class exploitation intersect with racism and hetero-patriarchy to sustain and reproduce capitalist rule?

March 1, 1 - 3 pm<br>Jane/Dundas Library – 620 Jane St (south west corner of Jane and Dundas)<br>We will screen "Silence of the Labs", the episode of "Fifth Estate" which recently aired. In the pst 5 years, the federal government has dismissed more than 2,000 scientists, and hundreds of programs and world-renowned research facilities have lost their funding. Programs that monitored things such as smoke stack emissions, food inspections, oil spills, water quality and climate change have been drastically cut or shut down. Following the screening, as part of Freedom to Read Week at the library, Katie Gibbs, a representative from the group, Evidence for Democracy, will be joining us to talk about how scientific information in Canada is being censored by the federal government.
