The movement has been successful in exposing the pervasiveness of this violence in our society, and has been rapidly endorsed by celebrities and politicians. But does #MeToo address the concerns of poor women? Is its scope limited to exposing the harassment and violence perpetrated by famous men, or to the violence experienced by rich women? How does the movement respond to systemic violence against Indigenous and racialized women? What does the history of movements fighting violence against women teach us about similar struggles today? How have poor women fought back? Join us for this important conversation to better understand the forces shaping #MeToo, and the history of poor women's resistance to violence.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1215905288539356/">https://www.facebook.com/events/1215905288539356/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#00B0F0'>Justice for Grassy Narrows: Panel Discussion & Public Call-to-Action<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>Thur.

Ontario gets 60% of our electricity from 18 aging nuclear reactors. The government plans to extend the life of the geriatric Pickering Nuclear station, and rebuild the Darlington and Bruce nuclear stations, locking us into high cost nuclear power for 5 more decades while the rest of the world moves to a renewable future. What are our options for electricity generation in Ontario, and where do the political parties stand on this critical issue? In our back yard, the Pickering Nuclear Station is one of the oldest and largest nuclear stations in the world and sits in the middle of the GTA. Originally designed to operate for 30 years, it is now 47, and gov’t plans are to run it yet another 6 years. Fortunately, we could instead decommission it (create jobs!) and replace it with much lower cost and safer renewable water power from Quebec (lower bills!).
