Many organizers from community and climate justice struggles like Our Time threw down behind candidates who campaigned on the need for ambitious action on climate, racism, inequality, and a Green New Deal. Now we have a minority government -- an election result that is mixed and its meaning contested, and a need to keep pushing on the levers of change. Join The Leap, Democractic Socialists of America (DSA), Momentum UK, and newly elected Member of Parliament for Hamilton Centre, Matthew Green for a webinar on organizing at the intersection of social movements and the electoral sphere.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GrbnK-2DTeCkutDJIzEkbQ">https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GrbnK-2DTeCkutDJIzEkbQ</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#00B0F0'>City of Toronto TransformTO Climate Action Strategy<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Wed.

The current industrial food system produces about one third of all GHGs, and is a major contributor to the breakdown of our planetary life support systems. In an increasingly urbanized world, cities are where the climate crisis is coming home to roost. The urgency of the climate crisis is creating a new food-city nexus and a need for “people-centred food policy.” In this seminar, I will identify six pillars of “critical food guidance” that are at the heart of the food-city nexus, and offer some suggestions for citizen engagement and people-centred food policy in an era of climate emergency.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.environment.utoronto.ca/events/environment-seminar-the-food-city-nexus-in-an-era-of-climate-change/">https://www.environment.utoronto.ca/events/environment-seminar-the-food-city-nexus-in-an-era-of-climate-change/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#7030A0'>Vampires vs. The People: An XR Halloween<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Thur.

The event is to raise money for the NATO Association of Canada, which also receives funding from US weapons giants Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics. This year is the 70th anniversary of this male-dominated military alliance and Cold War relic that threatens our security with weapons and war. NATO puts intense pressure on the Canadian government to increase military spending and is preventing Canada from joining the UN Treaty to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons. VOW is calling for the Canadian government to withdraw from NATO and work through the United Nations on disarmament and the Sustainable Development Goals that will bring genuine human security.
