SUMMARY:Universal Basic Income: Should the left support it?
DESCRIPTION:Should the Left support a demand for a Universal Basic Income (UBI)? This simple question has provoked a fervent and confusing debate. In the midst of a global pandemic and a massive economic crisis\, discussion over UBI touches on real political and economic anxieties. \n\nOver the last 40 years the attack on the social welfare state\, the depreciating power of organized labour and an economy producing increasingly low-wage precarious jobs have led many to search for alternative mechanisms and policies to address these problems.\n\nCould Universal Basic Income be that alternative policy? This Spring online meeting will explore this question. \n\nSpeakers:\nLoretta Fisher\, writer\, poet and activist\, member of Spring and the Workers’ Action Centre\nMina Rajabi\, an education researcher and policy analyst\nJohn Clarke\, longtime anti-poverty activist with the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty\nDavid Bush\, contributor to Spring Magazine\n\n  \n\nFind the event on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/events/406748450313592/\n\n  \n\nZoom link:\n\n\n\n\nWhen: Oct 4\, 2020 03:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)\nTopic: Universal Basic Income: Should the left support it?Please click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88001376352?pwd=eCtOZGhaZjhGRGtJU044bEVjWWkydz09\nPasscode: 180664\nOr iPhone one-tap :\nCanada: +15873281099\,\,88001376352#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,180664#  or +16473744685\,\,88001376352#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,180664#\nOr Telephone:\nDial(for higher quality\, dial a number based on your current location):\nCanada: +1 587 328 1099  or +1 647 374 4685  or +1 647 558 0588  or +1 778 907 2071  or +1 204 272 7920  or +1 438 809 7799\nUS: +1 312 626 6799  or +1 346 248 7799  or +1 646 558 8656  or +1 669 900 9128  or +1 253 215 8782  or +1 301 715 8592\nWebinar ID: 880 0137 6352\nPasscode: 180664\nInternational numbers available: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kMTm2Xmj5

SUMMARY:West Coast Reading Group: What's Class got to do With it?
DESCRIPTION:The global health pandemic and continued economic and climate crises have only shown capitalism’s inability to put the needs of people over profit.

SUMMARY:Capitalism: How the economy works (or doesn’t)
DESCRIPTION:We are now living through the largest global recession in modern history. With widespread joblessness\, public health emergencies\, rising rates of homelessness\, mass uprisings against racism and police brutality\, and a looming climate crisis\, 2020 has shaped up to be the beginning of a new era. Underpinning these crises however is the historical constant of the last 500 years: capitalism. Though 2020 has been a rocky year its upheavals are not unique under capitalism\, which is inherently prone to “crises and booms”. \nJoin Spring for the first part of our “Spring into Socialism: A Beginners’ Guide to Social Change” series with an introduction to capitalism and come away with an understanding how Marxism empowers us to both understand the world and to fight to change it. \nSuggested Readings:\n-The Crisis Deepens- Joseph Choonara http://isj.org.uk/the-crisis-deepens/\n-Marx’s theory of economic crisis https://isreview.org/issues/32/crisis_theory.shtml\n-Why You Should Join a Socialist Organization https://www.jacobinmag.com/2020/05/join-socialist-organization-dsa-working-class \nFacebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/2418001821841488 \nZoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88904118499?pwd=MWtpbXNteHh0MDQwSjVLK2hjL0psQT09 \nMeeting ID: 889 0411 8499\nPasscode: 598090\nOne tap mobile\n+17789072071\,\,88904118499#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,598090# Canada\n+12042727920\,\,88904118499#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,598090# Canada \nDial by your location\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 889 0411 8499\nPasscode: 598090\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kb4CZpV5FS

SUMMARY:The state is not neutral: Canada’s violent history of genocide and oppression
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our second course in the series Spring into Socialism: A Beginner’s Guide to Social Change. \nThe history of the settler Canadian state is the history of resource extraction on unceded lands from which Indigenous peoples have been dispossessed. The Canadian left has an extended tradition of producing counter-history in exploring and exposing the tension between Canada’s famous perceived image of multicultural tolerance and its exploitative imperialist practices rooted in capitalism. In this session\, we will learn more about both the history of oppression in Canada and the rich traditions of resistance that have emerged in response to colonialist exploitation. \nIf you missed the first session\, don’t worry\, all are welcome. \nFind the event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1417688658439811/  \nZoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83701620733?pwd=Wll2UzVTU2wrR1lvWW9kOS82VEpaZz09\nPasscode: 033291\nOr iPhone one-tap :\nCanada: +17789072071\,\,83701620733#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,033291# or +12042727920\,\,83701620733#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,033291#\nOr Telephone:\nDial(for higher quality\, dial a number based on your current location):\nCanada: +1 778 907 2071 or +1 204 272 7920 or +1 438 809 7799 or +1 587 328 1099 or +1 647 374 4685 or +1 647 558 0588\nUS: +1 669 900 9128 or +1 253 215 8782 or +1 301 715 8592 or +1 312 626 6799 or +1 346 248 7799 or +1 646 558 8656\nWebinar ID: 837 0162 0733\nPasscode: 033291\nInternational numbers available: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kbLj8SgKYd

SUMMARY:Why the international working class?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our third course in the series Spring into Socialism: A Beginner’s Guide to Social Change. \nThe fundamental ethic of the struggle for socialism is solidarity. As Rosa Luxemburg argued\, solidarity must be international for the fight for liberation to truly succeed. The working classes of the world are extremely diverse but they are unified in their oppression under the capitalist system. They share a common cause in the overthrow of a system that\, in the age of climate crisis\, is increasingly recognized as untenable and in need of a global solution. In this session\, we will explore who the working classes are\, what inextricably links them\, and how socialists have come to understand that it is only through international solidarity that capitalism’s continuous crises may be brought to a halt. \nIf you missed the first two sessions\, don’t worry\, all are welcome. \nFind the event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/2695362240702437/ \nZoom link: \nTopic: Why the international working class?\nTime: Dec 10\, 2020 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85942795637?pwd=QXZNNFN1ZlFLa1JXM0RrT1JxSkMrZz09 \nMeeting ID: 859 4279 5637\nPasscode: 621300\nOne tap mobile\n+14388097799\,\,85942795637#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,621300# Canada\n+15873281099\,\,85942795637#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,621300# Canada \nDial by your location\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington D.C)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\nMeeting ID: 859 4279 5637\nPasscode: 621300\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kbsJxHRNPz

SUMMARY:Building power: Centering anti-racism and anti-oppression practice
DESCRIPTION:Capitalism’s contradictions necessitate inequality\, injustice\, and social division. Be it by race\, gender\, sexuality\, ability\, religion\, nationality\, or age\, people struggle unequally under a system that mandates their oppression. \nMarxist organization provides a framework for understanding exploitation\, strengthening fights against different forms of oppression\, and requires the centering of different oppressions in order to be effective. Learn in this class the relationship between capitalism and racism\, capitalism and other forms of oppression\, and how Marxism empowers those fighting inequality and injustice to fight back. \nFind the event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/228561755550008 \nReadings: \n\nKeeanga-Yamahtta Taylor:  https://socia7listworker.org/2011/01/04/race-class-and-marxism  \nClaudia Jones: https://palmm.digital.flvc.org/islandora/object/ucf%3A4865/datastream/OBJ/download/An_end_to_the_neglect_of_the_problems_of_the_Negro_woman_.pdf \nEsma Choonara: http://isj.org.uk/racism-institutional-structural/\n\nZoom Link: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89893532788?pwd=dDRvRWg0UUt6ZGRZeUJjNkpqY0NtUT09 \nMeeting ID: 898 9353 2788\nPasscode: 766092\nOne tap mobile\n+15873281099\,\,89893532788#\,\,\,\,*766092# Canada\n+16473744685\,\,89893532788#\,\,\,\,*766092# Canada \nDial by your location\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington D.C)\nMeeting ID: 898 9353 2788\nPasscode: 766092\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kOwcAvrpW

SUMMARY:Getting organized for revolution
DESCRIPTION:Marxist economics provides an invaluable framework for understanding our world. However\, as Marx famously said\, “the point [of interpretation]… is to change it”. To actualize the possibility of socialism\, forces must collectively unite in order to be strong enough to confront the problems of capitalism. It is organization that provides the means for doing so. \nIn this session\, we will discuss the value of joining a socialist organization specifically and the strategy involved in building the movements that will overthrow capitalism. Through movements we struggle for reforms to the capitalist system with revolution as our aim. \nJoin us for the discussion. \nFind the event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/490522649014030 \nGetting organized for revolution\nFeb 18\, 2021 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83222435878?pwd=ejcyd0hUOWZpZm5uSWNuSjNvdFlrdz09 \nMeeting ID: 832 2243 5878\nPasscode: 183768\nOne tap mobile\n+15873281099\,\,83222435878#\,\,\,\,*183768# Canada\n+16473744685\,\,83222435878#\,\,\,\,*183768# Canada \nDial by your location\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\nMeeting ID: 832 2243 5878\nPasscode: 183768\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kclfnOzZOw

SUMMARY:Farmers' Protest: Resistance & Repression in India
DESCRIPTION:Millions of people have been moved into action as farmers in India resist the far right BJP government of Narendra Modi. Last year\, Modi pushed through 3 agricultural laws that will further impoverish India’s farmers and farming communities. \nThe laws remove the minimum price farmers receive for their crops\, remove the requirement of state support for farming communities\, and further shift the balance of power away from farmers to big corporations and tech firms. \nJoin us for this group discussion as we draw inspiration from the mass movement\, assess the political terrain\, and share lessons. \nSpeakers: \n-Navi Aujla is a leader in the Fight for $15 and Fairness and a community organizer based in Brampton.\n-Sarah Nafisa Shahid is a freelance writer based in Toronto\, mainly writing about film\, culture\, and art with a particular interest in the political and social implications of visual media.\n-Garry Sran is an Economist and a Senior Research Advisor at the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees. He lives in Edmonton. \nFind the event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/700662770626289 \nClick here to register to attend the meeting on Zoom

SUMMARY:Spring Phone Zap for Paid Sick Days!
DESCRIPTION:April 28 is the Day of mourning for workers who have been killed or injured on the job. Many workers are taking action to mourn for the dead and fight for the living. \nWe are organizing a phone zap for paid sick days! Many workers still don’t have access to paid sick days. Low-waged and racialized workers are disproportionately impacted by the lack of legislated paid sick days for all. \nWe are going to call Tory MPPs and Premier Ford to tell them workers need paid sick days that are legislated\, adequate\, employer-paid and universal. Workers need paid sick days not policing! \nRegister for the Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAoceGvqz0rEtd3dXY6AJZHr1SyaNb9EOLC
