Aug 10, 2026 - Palestinian Journalists Week of Action

When: August 6-10

As we approach one year since Anas al-Sharif's martyrdom and his final message -- "I entrust you with Palestine... I entrust you not to be silenced by chains, nor held back by borders" -- we announce a week of action, August 10th through the 16th.

We will honor Anas and all martyred Palestinian journalists, confronting the reality that the murder of journalists on the ground was an intentional attempt to silence the voices of truth, who faced certain death to expose the crimes Zionism commits against our people.

Aug 10, 2026 - Mass Incarceration in El Salvador

When: Monday August 10th, 7pm
Where: College Street United Church, 454 College St

What is going on in El Salvador and how does this matter to Canada?

In March 2022 the Nayib Bukele administration in El Salvador invoked an emergency measure called a "state of exception" in reaction to a spike in gang violence.

Under the pretext of protecting public order, this measure suspends freedoms of assembly, association, and expression, as well as fundamental rights surrounding arrest and detention. These include the right of habeas corpus, the right to be informed of the reasons for detention, access to legal assistance, and numerous guarantees of due process.

Our featured speakers
-Samuel Ramirez, activist with the Movement for the Victims of the Regime in El Salvador (MOVIR)
- Ingrid Escobar, human rights defender, and Director of Socorro Juridico Humanitario (Humanitarian Legal Aid)
