Meanwhile, the government has been pouring more into private clinics every year, chipping away at our public system. Join us, to demand better for our public hospitals. Let's channel our anger and send this government a strong message: we care about our public health care system. And we will continue to defend it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://ochu.on.ca/2026/02/27/rally-at-doug-fords-office-health-care-workers-to-protest-on-monday-morning-as-staffing-cuts-take-toll-on-workers-patients/">https://ochu.on.ca/2026/02/27/rally-at-doug-fords-office-health-care-workers-to-protest-on-monday-morning-as-staffing-cuts-take-toll-on-workers-patients/</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:#4EA72E'>Celebrating Tooker<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>March 3rd is the anniversary of Tooker's passing in 2004. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>To celebrate, enjoy a few of his video shorts.

March 3, noon ET<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Beyond its staggering electricity demands, AI requires water — and a lot of it. A single data center can consume over 300,000 gallons a day — equivalent to the water used in a thousand homes — to cool the computers powering your chat prompts. As climate change worsens water scarcity through rising temperatures and disruptions to precipitation patterns, AI threatens to further drain water from the areas that need it most; over two-thirds of data centers built since 2022 are in water-stressed regions. As big tech continues its plan to build as many data centers as possible, join Covering Climate Now for a one-hour discussion where we'll highlight the reasons for AI’s ever-growing thirst, explore how to cover the local concerns of communities facing water shortages, and investigate potential solutions to safeguard this increasingly scarce resource.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zBMOFFEdSiyGbY0bV_SNFg#/registration">https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zBMOFFEdSiyGbY0bV_SNFg#/registration</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:#C00000'>Nuclear weapons, war and racism: why we must unite against the Far Right<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Tues.

The method could be used to explore a variety of climate issues. Come to learn the method and to consider what type of climate conversations you might lead in your community.

We now know that 4 billion people are at risk of being killed as soon as 2050. Across the West, the far right is surging. There’s a general sense that nothing can be done. The question is not whether things will change; the question is who will shape the change when it arrives. Whoever is most prepared will win. And preparation calls for understanding the truth about climate breakdown. Who wins will have a massive impact on whether billions die. We are a group of citizens who decided to take the arch of history and hand it over to ordinary people, who, guided by iteratively improving the science on the existential climate crisis, will determine the direction of the future, and the destiny of billions of people on the planet. This is a battle between forces of death, forces that seek to destroy our planet at the altar of greed, and forces of life, who will go to any nonviolent lengths, to preserve life.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://4billiondead.org/action-network-launch-form/">https://4billiondead.org/action-network-launch-form/</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><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#A02B93'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#A02B93'>Celebrate International Women's Day <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Sunday, March 8, 8 p.m. ET<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Speakers include Bianca Mugyenyi, Kshama Sawant, Jasmine Peardon, Rubina Chowdhury, with Elizabeth Byce chairing the event.
