GTWA Coffeehouse: Unpacking Solidarity
November 17, 2012
On November 17 (7pm), we will return to our old stomping grounds of the Regal Beagle to have an open-ended discussion of the meaning of solidarity in general, within the context of a discussion of the Solidarity Platform, a living document, ratified as GTWA policy in early 2012.
What do we mean when we say "solidarity"? Is solidarity, something one can possess in a passive sense? Or is it something on the level of practice - solidarity being a verb, not a noun? Can solidarity be fostered, or is it an organic and spontaneous phenomenon? Or is it a bit of both? How have anti-capitalitsts used demand and platforms in the past? What distinctions have anti-capitalist traditions had over the use of platforms and demands in the "year of living dangerously", 2011 into 2012, where popular uprisings occured from Wall Street to Tahir Square, from South Asia to Wisconsin, from Quebec to Chile?
Time: 7:00 PM
Venue: Regal Beagle Pub
Location: 335 Bloor west Toronto, ON
