Thur, Aug. 29 @10pm EST
Fri, Aug. 30 @8pm EST
Many of u know about the anti-fracking protests that have been taking place back in New Brunswick for a few months now. Many have been arrested by the nasty RCMP there & the blockade camp temporarily-disbanded. It's a great coalition of Mi'kmaq, Maliceet, Acadians and English-speakers that has formed against fracking. They had a camp set up on land owned by the Elsipogtog Reserve for two months. The camp has disbanded temporarily but will resume in September.

Disarm the Cops
Thursday, August 29, 7 p.m.
OISE, 252 Bloor St. West, Room 2-211 (above the St. George Subway Station)
Everyone is welcome. $2 donation requested, or PWYC.
The July 27 police killing of 18-year old Sammy Yatim, another in a long string of unarmed victims shot to death by Toronto cops, raises questions: What is the root cause of these murders, often of immigrant, working class, and visible minority youths? Should street patrol cops be disarmed? Can police in capitalist society ever be held accountable to the majority? Whose interests are served by the cops, the courts, the military and the entire state apparatus? What should youths, racialized minorities and working people do about this? Join us for a panel of speakers, followed by an open discussion, with speakers:
- Wangui Kimari, organizer with the Network for Pan-African Solidarity and the Network for the Elimination of Police Violence.
- Tyler Mackinnon, YSA chairperson, Ryerson U. student, recently returned from Greece where he visited a 'cops-free' neighborhood in central Athens.
- Ben Rostoker, YSA secretary-treasurer and U of Toronto student activist.
An open Q & A, and discussion period will follow the presentations.

Expose the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) - Stop the Secretive Corporate Power Grab
Thursday, August 29,12:30 - 1:30 pm
US Consulate (on University Ave. north of Queen)
Join us to demand an end to secret TPP negotiations, and for the entire agreement to be made public now before it can be signed in the coming months. Do you know about the Trans-Pacific Partnership? Most people don’t. Yet this huge 12-country corporate rights deal is a cornerstone of the Harper government’s neoliberal economic agenda for Canada. And it’s almost done deal! As is typical with this government, the TPP is being negotiated in secret, as quickly as possible, so that we, the people, cannot affect the outcome in any way.

Mon. Sept. 2, 10 a.m.
Meet at Queen and University, walk west along Queen and south at Dufferin to the CNE - free entrance to the CNE - join en route
We do it to celebrate our struggles and achievements fighting for fairness and equality at work and in our communities. It’s especially important this year, as political and economic challenges threaten the gains unionized workers have won through collective action over the years. We want access to the same opportunities, benefits and pensions to continue to be here for our children. So bring your kids and let’s show Toronto that we are union-proud.
