Ontario Common Front General Assembly
December 08, 2012
You are invited to the Ontario Common Front (OCF) General Assembly.
We are facing an increasing crisis in Ontario and the rest of Canada. Almost every day journalists report that the gap between the rich and the rest of us, threatens our way of life. Between 1981-2012 Ontario has witnessed the largest increase in income inequality of any province.
However, there are many opportunities to win progressive change. With a Liberal leadership convention in late January and a provincial election expected in the spring, the time is right for us to develop strategies and tactics that support public revenue generation and its fair and equitable distribution.
The OCF model of community-labour organizing is breaking down divisions between unions and community. OCF is a mix of over 90 community and labour organizations working together to combat growing inequality in Ontario; while providing alternatives.
At this General Assembly, labour and community groups will come together to discuss a number of pressing issues that are threatening the very fabric of our society. For example, there will be a strategy workshop on Bill 115 and similar legislation aimed at the broader public sector. This workshop, like all others, will be facilitated by both labour and community activists and will include educational and strategic components. These workshops provide an opportunity for discussion and organizing around an array of important issues in our collective struggle against inequality.
Time: 9:30 - 4:30
Venue: Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE)
Location: 252 Bloor Street West Toronto, ON
