SUMMARY:Toronto Spring meeting: "Black workers vs South African Apartheid: Lessons for Palestine solidarity"
DESCRIPTION:Join Spring’s Toronto chapter organizing meeting on Friday\, July 24\, 6pm at 720 Spadina Ave\, Room 221! \nThe main discussion at this meeting\, “Black workers versus South African Apartheid: Lessons for Palestinian solidarity\,” recenters the self-emancipation of workers in the history of resisting South African Apartheid and asks: what lessons can we draw for building solidarity with Palestine today? When people talk about the fall of Apartheid\, workers’ resistance is often pushed to the margins. But in Durban in 1973\, tens of thousands of Black workers launched strikes that shook South Africa to its core — birthing a militant trade union movement that helped bring Apartheid down. \nWe will also be discussing key political issues as well as socialist strategy and tactics\, building winning campaigns\, and how to be effective socialist organizers in movements. \nThis meeting is open to all Spring members in the GTA and anyone who is interested in getting involved with Spring. \nDoors will be open for light refreshments at 5:30pm and the meeting starts at 6:00pm. We ask everyone to wear a mask. \nPlease email info@springmag.ca with any questions. See you there!

SUMMARY:Toronto leafleting to support education workers
DESCRIPTION:Join Spring for a leafleting session in support of education workers on Monday\, July 20 at 5pm in Toronto (Bloor and Dufferin)! \nSince 2018\, the Ontario government has cut public education funding by over $6 billion. Support worker and Early Childhood Educator jobs are being slashed while class sizes go up\, leaving teachers and staff to do more with less support. \nTeachers and education workers are heading into collective bargaining\, and they’re fighting for better funding and better learning conditions for students across the province. Join us as we spread the word: supporting public education means supporting the workers who deliver it. \nWe’ll be meeting at the northwest corner of Bloor and Dufferin\, outside Dufferin Station. See you there!

SUMMARY:Spring Educational Series: Socialists and the fight for liberation
DESCRIPTION:Join Spring for a talk and discussion\, “Socialists and the fight for liberation\,” on Sunday\, July 5\, 1pm ET / 10am PT / 2pm AT over Zoom. \nSocialism is most widely known as a movement for fighting class oppression under capitalism. But fighting for a world where everybody is free means taking on more than just the bosses — it means fighting for racial equality\, gender equality\, queer liberation\, Indigenous sovereignty\, and taking on the oppressions faced by workers everywhere. Join us as we discuss the role that socialists play in these fights and the tasks facing us as we continue organizing for a better world. \nThis talk is the third installment of the Spring Educational Series. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:PHONE ZAP: Support striking OPSEU workers!
DESCRIPTION:Join Spring on Monday\, June 29th at 7pm for a phone zap to support striking OPSEU workers! \nOver 4\,000 social service workers across Ontario are currently either on strike or locked out. These workers are fighting for back pay for Bill 124 (which still hasn’t been given to workers in the sector)\, better funding for social services\, and more. We want to put pressure on the Ontario government to provide the funding for better community services and wage increases for workers. \nWe will be getting together on Zoom to call our local MPPs and Doug Ford to let them know that we want a fair deal for social service workers! This will be a quick action – just 30 minutes! Bring a friend! \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Spring Educational Series: Why the working class?
DESCRIPTION:Join Spring for a talk and discussion\, “Why the working class?” taking place on Sunday\, June 21 over Zoom at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 2pm AT. \nWorkers produce all the world’s wealth\, but have no control over what’s produced\, how it’s produced\, or how it’s distributed. That’s because the capitalist system is controlled by a tiny elite of wealthy individuals\, whose singular focus is maximizing profit\, regardless of the impact on workers\, communities\, or the environment. \nJoin this session to talk about how the working class has the capacity to transform the economic system\, liberate humanity from oppression\, and democratically re-organize production to protect and heal the planet\, and all its inhabitants. This session is part of Spring’s educational series on socialism. \nRegister here: https://bit.ly/Springeducationals

SUMMARY:Spring Educational Series: What is Revolutionary Socialism?
DESCRIPTION:Join Spring for a talk and discussion\, “What is Revolutionary Socialism?” taking place on Sunday\, May 31 over Zoom at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 2pm AT. \nMany movements\, parties\, and people throughout history have called themselves socialist. Socialism has come to be identified in the popular imagination with so many things; social democratic parties\, heroic men in the hills with rifles\, protest movements\, unions\, welfare states\, and even dictatorships. Various forms of “socialism from above” may appear to offer shortcuts\, but have always ended up replicating the features of capitalism. \nThis talk will make the case for revolutionary socialism – the self-mobilization of masses of ordinary working people – as a world worth fighting for and the best means of winning it. \nThis talk is the first in Spring’s new educational series. More talks will be coming soon! \nClick here to register.
