Nov 25, 2025 - Human Rights Defenders Working under Tyranny in Afghanistan

When: November 25th, 2pm

The Taliban's 2021 takeover of Afghanistan was a catastrophe for the Afghan human rights movement. Human rights defenders were forced into exile, fearing for their lives. Those who remain, cannot work openly without great risk. Many continue their efforts from exile, but the country's new rulers seem impervious to reform. Despite this, a new wave of women's rights defenders has emerged in spontaneous protests, while other Afghans have found clandestine and creative ways to work in the interstices.

Join Rachel Reid for a discussion of her recent report on the Afghan human rights movement, Manoeuvring Through the Cracks.

Sep 8, 2025 - Fighting To Win

When: Monday September 8th, 6pm

A Ten-Week Course for Union and Community Activists Facilitated by John Clarke, former organizer with the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP).

Unions and social movements today are operating in a very challenging situation. There is great economic uncertainty, the worsening impact of climate change and a global situation marked by the growing threat of conflict and war. When workers strike or communities under attack take to the streets, it seems that victories are much much harder to win, and past gains more difficult to defend.

This course will grapple with these questions by looking at the forms of exploitation and oppression that exist in society and the means by which the power structure acts to limit and contain our struggles. The course will move towards a discussion of how our movements can overcome the factors that hold them back and to fight to win!
