SUMMARY:Winning Paid Sick Days in BC
DESCRIPTION:The BC NDP has promised to introduce permanent paid sick days starting on January 1\, 2022. No specific number has been introduced. Join members of Spring\, The Worker Solidarity Network\, frontline healthcare workers\, and more\, for a discussion on how we win paid sick days that are universal\, adequate\, employer- paid\, and accessible. \nSpeakers: \n\nDr. Amanpreet Brar\, Decent Work and Health Network\nAmrita Parmar\, BC LTC nurse\nPam Charron\, Community Engagement Coordinator- Worker Solidarity Network\nLaird Cronk\, President- BC Federation of Labour\nLisa Descary\, Spring Socialist Network\n\nThough this event features speakers and participants from across so-called BC\, it is important to center the fact that all of this territory today remains unceded and stolen Indigenous land. In all of our work and all of our efforts\, we fight against colonialism\, racism\, bigotry\, and all forms of oppression. We do not recognize this in the abstract. We learn through struggle and through the work of movements and organizations that are confronting the brutality of capitalism\, racism\, and settler-colonialism across Turtle Island and around the world. \nRegister for Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0kdOupqz4qHtcjau12aRn-1rheyomytflp

SUMMARY:Reading Group: From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation
DESCRIPTION:Join Spring Magazine as we read and discuss Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor’s book From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation. \n“The eruption of mass protests in the wake of the police murders of Michael Brown in Ferguson\, Missouri and Eric Garner in New York City have challenged the impunity with which officers of the law carry out violence against Black people and punctured the illusion of a postracial America. The Black Lives Matter movement has awakened a new generation of activists. In this stirring and insightful analysis\, activist and scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor surveys the historical and contemporary ravages of racism and persistence of structural inequality such as mass incarceration and Black unemployment. In this context\, she argues that this new struggle against police violence holds the potential to reignite a broader push for Black liberation.” \nBook available here: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1646-from-blacklivesmatter-to-black-liberation-expanded-second-edition \nFor this meeting\, please read the Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.
