Resisting a System in Crisis: 2014
June 14, 2014 to June 15, 2014
From recession to climate disasters, it's clear capitalism is a system in crisis, and the response of the 1% is to make the rest of us pay for it -- with austerity, oppression, and imperialism. But there are also resistance movements uniting people for climate justice, economic justice, and liberation.
Topics include anti-imperialism, workers' struggles, climate justice, indigenous sovereignty and resistance, combating oppression, socialists and elections, understanding capitalism and more. Sessions include:
System change not climate change
Taking on anti-union threat in Ontario and Quebec
The NDP and the crisis of social democracy
The birth of industrial unionism in Canada 1937-46
Environmental racism and climate justice
Today’s resistance to the genocide of Indigenous People
Secularism and religious accommodation
Racism, sexism and the war on women
Disability, austerity and resistance
World Pride and LGBT liberation
WWI: slaughter and resistance
