Connections in Crisis: Extending the Jobs, Justice, Climate Conversation


September 21, 2015


The Jobs, Justice, Climate march in Toronto this past July was a coalition effort unprecedented in its ability to bring together over 100 community groups and organizations to advocate for a just transition to a people- and planet-centred economy. There is much work being done across the city to put an end to the myriad forms of social, economic, and ecological oppressions and exploitations.

This event will continue the conversation started in July, exploring how we can work across movements in a climate of (social, political, economic, ecological) crisis. Panelists will include Indigenous, climate, anti-poverty, migrant justice, and union activists who will consider the intersections, the tensions, and the possibilities for collective organizing for justice.

Participating organizations include: Reclaim Turtle Island, Jane & Finch Action Against Poverty, Black Lives Matter Toronto, Ontario Coalition Against Poverty, CUPE 3903, Rising Tide Toronto, and Toronto350.org.

This event is being co-hosted by the Environmental Justice & Sustainability Committee (UTGSU) and Jobs, Justice Climate, and is part of OPIRG's DisOrientation week.

Time: 7pm
Venue: University of Toronto
Location: Sidney Smith Hall, rm 2111, 100 St. George Street Toronto, ON
Categories: Social Change, Social Justice, Alternatives
