Time: 12:00 PM

What does the election of Donald Trump, and the accompanying rightwing populist upsurge, mean for social justice and basic democratic rights? While many feel shocked and frightened by this “exceptional” moment, context is necessary to understand it. White supremacy, misogyny, xenophobia, settler-colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism have deep roots that grew long before Trump — in Canada as well as in the US. How can we critically understand and resist these toxic dynamics? How can we build alternatives to them right now in our own communities? Please join a public discussion about moving beyond both the fascist “altright” and a bankrupt (neo)liberalism; toward a collectively liberated society with justice and democracy for all. On-site Child care provided, and pizza will be served.

The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.
