12th Annual Social Justice Summer Retreat!
August 20, 2009 to August 23, 2009
Taking Your Activism to the Next Level! Registration is Now Open! Early bird registration available until July 31st! Featuring Kevin Annett, Victoria Freeman, Bob Lovelace, Sakura Saunders, Judy Rebick and much more…..Please visit www.socialjustice.org for more information and online registration. This year’s programming will focus on indigenous issues in Canada and the question of transforming power. What are some of the challenges people must face in decolonizing themselves? How has Canada treated its own indigenous people? Can we change our society before we address our own internalized oppression? Where does true change begin? Is there a different way of doing politics that can build more sustainable and inclusive movements?
Join us for a truly engaging and eye-opening weekend, where you will be challenged to reflect and rethink what you already know. You will also walk away with concrete skills, such as facilitation, cyber organizing and coalition building to help you build a more just and inclusive organization, community group, student movement, union or party. Who will be there? Activists of all ages as well as their friends and family. Those that protest for global justice and against poverty to those fighting for safe drinking water, decent jobs, human rights and against climate change – we welcome everyone trying to make a difference, be they from inside politics, organizations, or outside the system.
Venue: Algonquin Park
