SUMMARY:Whose Labour? Whose Organizing? Socialism and the Racialized Working Class
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This event has been rescheduled to Friday\, July 22 due to the Rogers outage on our previous date of Friday\, July 8. \nDiscussions about the working class have a tendency to make assumptions about who the average worker is; namely\, a white\, straight\, cisgender male breadwinner working in a unionized industry. This tendency erases the rich and ongoing histories of racialized worker organizing and movement work that have won hard-fought gains for all workers over the years. \nJoin Spring on Friday\, July 22nd at 7pm EDT for a discussion on class\, race\, and the political work of the multiracial working class. \nEmail us at info@springmag.ca for the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Is Revolution Possible? Lessons from Sudan\, Philippines\, & Sri Lanka
DESCRIPTION:Revolution seems to be on the horizon after popular uprisings in Sudan\, the return of the Marco dynasty in the Philippines\, and tens of thousands of people taking over the streets in Sri Lanka. Massive hikes in inflation\, unemployment\, and fuel shortages mark the immediate crisis of capitalism in these countries as people struggle against starvation and political repression. Protestors endure repression through surveillance\, imprisonment\, and extrajudicial killings. \nDecades of neoliberal reform\, ushered in by ruling elites\, have led to massive cuts in education and healthcare and the deepened poverty of farmers\, labourers\, and students across the Global South. But the story doesn’t end there. Regular people fight back and build movements for their liberation. \nWhat are the prospects for revolution in Sudan\, the Philippines\, and Sri Lanka? How do we build a united struggle? What role do global imperialist powers play in propping up repressive regimes? And what lessons can we learn from these global struggles as we build the strength of our movements here? \nJoin us on Saturday\, August 6 at 12:00pm EDT for a discussion with activists involved in the global struggle against capitalism\, imperialism\, and oppression. \n🚩Muzan Alneel is a Sudanese engineer\, Marxist activist\, and blogger.\n🚩Myka Jaymalin is a Filipina researcher and community organizer with Anakbayan Toronto.\n🚩Krisna Saravanamuttu is a writer and community organizer with deep roots in the Tamil liberation struggle. \nThis session\, a part of the Spring Socialist Network’s summer convention\, is open to the public. \nEmail info@springmag.ca for the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Spring Reading Group: "Climate Change as Class War: Building Socialism on a Warming Planet"
DESCRIPTION:Join Spring on Wednesday\, September 7\, 7pm EDT for the first session of our reading group on Matthew T. Huber’s “Climate Change as Class War: Building Socialism on a Warming Planet.” \nHuber’s book argues that despite capitalism’s vital role in causing the urgent climate crisis we now face\, the climate movement finds itself more appealing to the upper classes than the working class. To address the climate crisis\, Huber proposes and argues for a climate movement led by workers that builds our collective power to transform systems and create international solutions that work for the many and not just for the few. No matter where our interests lie – climate movements\, worker movements\, decolonization and Indigenous sovereignty – Huber’s book offers much for us to discuss as a group as we learn how to build our world together. \nIn this first meeting\, we will be discussing Part 1 of the book. All are welcome. The book is available direct from Verso (https://www.versobooks.com/books/3973-climate-change-as-class-war)\, or send us an email. \nEmail us at info@springmag.ca for the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Building Solidarity with Ontario’s Education Workers: Spring Labour Caucus
DESCRIPTION:55\,000 education workers in Ontario are fighting for higher wages and better working conditions. Education workers with CUPE voted 96.5% for a strike if needed.  \nWith a strike deadline possibly weeks away\, it’s crucial that we use every moment between now and then to build broad public support for education workers and their demands\, and to mobilize workers in other workplaces and sectors to be part of the fightback. \nIf education workers win\, we all win\, and every other fight with the Ford government will be stronger for it. \nJoin Spring’s labour caucus for a discussion about how we can build solidarity with education workers and build a fighting labour movement. All workers welcome\, union and non-union. \nPlease email info@springmag.ca for the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Solidarity Beyond Bars: Halifax Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Spring Socialist Network’s reading group to read and discuss Solidarity Beyond Bars: Unionizing Prison Labour. We will be meeting on Sunday\, February 11 at 1 pm to discuss the book. Asaf Rashid\, one of the book’s authors and a Halifax local\, will join us for part of the discussion. \nFrom the publisher’s description:\n“Prisons don’t work\, but prisoners do. Prisons are often critiqued as unjust\, but we hear little about the daily labour of incarcerated workers — what they do\, how they do it\, who they do it for and under which conditions. Unions protect workers fighting for better pay and against discrimination and occupational health and safety concerns\, but prisoners are denied this protection despite being the lowest paid workers with the least choice in what they do — the most vulnerable among the working class. Starting from the perspective that work during imprisonment is not “rehabilitative\,” this book examines the reasons why people should care about prison labour and how prisoners have struggled to organize for labour power in the past. Unionizing incarcerated workers is critical for both the labour movement and struggles for prison justice\, this book argues\, to negotiate changes to working conditions as well as the power dynamics within prisons themselves. The book can be purchased at Venus Envy and Bookmark.\nhttps://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/solidarity-beyond-bars \nThe event will be held at a member’s residence. Please email paniz.ksy@gmail.com if you would like to attend.
