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. More than ever\, we need an international and organized working class movement. We need to work in solidarity with one another to put into motion a world free from oppression\, exploitation\, and disaster. \nJoin Spring for a discussion focusing on the what\, the why\, and the how of building the strength of the international and intersectional working class. \nRecommended resources: \n-The Working Class is the Vast Majority of Society https://jacobinmag.com/2020/09/working-class-peoples-guide-capitalism-marxist-economics \n-Race is About More than Discrimination: https://monthlyreview.org/2020/07/01/race-is-about-more-than-discrimination/ \n-Marx was Right: Economics for the 99% (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEObOvuwI0g) \nAlso check out Covid\, Crime\, and Capitalism on our YouTube channel\, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIT3RHiglOc \nFacebook link: https://www.facebook.com/events/752946208614561/ \nZoom Link: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81492029783?pwd=QWhlWVhwM3ZaOWQ0bGozUXpmM0RQQT09 \nMeeting ID: 814 9202 9783\nPasscode: 637886\nOne tap mobile\n+14388097799\,\,81492029783#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,637886# Canada\n+15873281099\,\,81492029783#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,637886# 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 (Germantown)\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: 814 9202 9783\nPasscode: 637886\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kigioRhfE

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
