Feb 12, 2026 - Booklaunch: Notes Toward a Digital Workers’ Inquiry

When: February 12th, 7pm
Where: Friends House, 60 Lowther Ave

Join us as we celebrate the launch of Notes Toward a Digital Workers Inquiry, a brand new book full of first-hand accounts from the tech sector's resurgent labor movement as artificial intelligence gains ground in every facet of our lives.

As tech billionaires align with Trump, they are also launching a renewed assault on labor through artificial intelligence and alienating tactics. But for now, it still takes workers to make fortunes for the bosses, and collective action is again on the rise. Previously thought to be "unorganizable," these workers are part of a North American movement that is reaffirming faith in collective revolutionary action through new methods of organizing, new ways of association, and a new synthesis of traditional labor activities with original research.

When: Friday February 6th, 7:30pm
Where: Factory Studio Theatre, 125 Bathurst St

When Palestinian theatre maker Rimah Jabr moved to Toronto, she became friends with Natasha Greenblatt, a Jewish Canadian playwright. They decided to make a play together... and it's mostly true. "Two Birds One Stone" asks complicated questions about identity, privilege, and the search for home. First created in 2016, Natasha and Rimah are now returning to their auto-fictional play with the support of director Guillermo Verdecchia and Common Boots Theatre. What does it mean to tell these stories, together, in the face of genocide?
