Apr 27, 2026 - Confronting the Far-Right

When: April 27th, 7pm
Where: College Street United Church, 502 Bathurst St

The Leo Panitch School is pleased to present Confronting the Far-Right: Lessons from Italy and Spain. We are honoured to welcome Clara Serra and Salvatore Prinzi to Toronto to lead us in a discussion of this vital topic. Clara and Salvatore are both activists, authors, and philosophers, experienced in movements confronting the rise of the far-right in Spain and Italy, respectively.

How did the rise of the contemporary far-right come about in Southern Europe? How are left and anti-fascist movements responding to this? What lessons can the socialist left in Canada take from the experiences of Italy and Spain?

Apr 28, 2026 - Data Activism in the Age of Trump

When: April 28th, 1:30pm

As a part of the launch of the new book Mobilizing Data for Justice, this roundtable invites contributors to the book to reflect on the role of data activism in social justice organizing. We ask how activists have been adapted to the changing context, with the rapid ascendance of authoritarian governments, the massive expansion of AI and associated technologies, and the rolling out of an extensive new surveillance regime. While new technologies have enabled deepening authoritarian policies, we also ask activists to reflect on how they provide new tools for activists.

Apr 29, 2026 - Education Day of Action

When: April 29th

As we move into bargaining and facing threats to public education from the Ford government, OSSTF/FEESO is encouraging its members, leaders, parents, and communities to participate in this province-wide Education Day of Action. This day is a simple but powerful way to show collective strength and raise awareness about the urgent need for increased investment in public education.

This is our opportunity to stand in solidarity with teachers and education workers from ETFO, AEFO, OECTA, and OSBCU/CUPE across the province and demonstrate a united call for a strong, well-funded public education system in Ontario.
