The Vice News produced documentary examines the mass disappearance of the young men who were all training to teach the youth of their country, as well as the tragedy and controversy surrounding their disappearance. Yo Soy 132 was a social movement composed for the most part of Mexican university students from private and public universities, residents of Mexico, claiming supporters from about 50 cities around the world. It began as opposition to the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) candidate Enrique Peña Nieto and the Mexican media’s allegedly biased coverage of the 2012 general election. The name Yo Soy 132, Spanish for “I Am 132″, originated in an expression of solidarity with the original 131 protest’s initiators. After the two films we will hear from guest speakers Professor Richard Roman, co-author of “Continental Crucible”, and Columba González from the campaign organization WeAreAllMexico.</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="http://socialistaction.ca/rebel/">http://socialistaction.ca/rebel/</a></span><br><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span></font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times"><b><font size="4" color="#77bb41">Reportback from the VOW delegates to the 59th Session of the United Nation's Commission on the Status of Women<br></font></b><span style="font-size: 14px;">Thursday, April 2, 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">Friend's House, 60 Lowther Avenue</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">$10 or pay only what you can</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">Dessert and coffee, tea</span><br><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><br><b><font size="4" color="#00a3d7">Becoming Great Ancestors</font></b><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">Great Lakes Commons</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">Thursday, April 2, 5 p.m.</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">CSI Annex - Meeting Room #4 (3rd floor), 720 Bathurst St.</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">In this workshop we will collectively explore the questions of: "What makes this Great Lakes Commons initiative different from most water protection and awareness efforts?" and, "How can a water-commons approach overcome many of the challenges for broad and meaningful public engagement?"

It will also help us do a collective re-think on how we can join and unite transformative social movements.</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="http://www.meetup.com/Great_Lakes_Commons/events/220901695/?a=me1_grp&rv=me1">http://www.meetup.com/Great_Lakes_Commons/events/220901695/?a=me1_grp&rv=me1</a></span><br></font><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><br>---------------------------------------<br>---------------------------------------<br></font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times"><b><font size="4" color="#ff4013">No Justice No Peace - Honouring Cindy Gladue<br></font></b><span style="font-size: 14px;">Thur. April 2, noon</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">Ministry Of Attorney General, 720 Bay Street</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">Cindy Gladue was an Indigenous mother and 36 years old when she was murdered in an Edmonton motel room 4 years ago. Last week an all white and almost all male jury decided to acquit her killer, a white Ontario man, because they believed that Cindy had consented to the violence that left an 11 cm wound in her vagina causing her to bleed to death. Cindy's death is a reminder that Indigenous women' lives and sex workers' lives are not valued in this deeply racist, sexist and misogynist society. We support the calls for an appeal and other forms of justice! Join us to express our outrage!</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1592063801041473/permalink/1592403991007454/">https://www.facebook.com/events/1592063801041473/permalink/1592403991007454/</a></span></font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------<br>---------------------------------------<br></font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times" size="4" color="#be38f3"><b>Vegetarianism 101: Easy Steps to Eating Less Meat </b></font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;">Thur.
