Jan 31, 2026 - FilmSocial: The Day Iceland Stood Still

When: January 31st, 7pm (doors open at 6:30pm)
Where: Friends House, 60 Lowther Ave

The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is very pleased to present a special screening of "The Day Iceland Stood Still."

What if every woman simply took the day off? The Day Iceland Stood Still is a film that answers that question. In Iceland, on October 24, 1975, women walked out and stopped working. 90% of the women of Iceland refused to work, cook, or take care of the children. They brought their country to a standstill and catapulted Iceland to the "best place in the world to be a woman" today.

We're also honoured to have longtime activist Judy Rebick join us as a very special guest!

Jan 31, 2026 - Hands Off Venezuela - Hands Off Cuba!

When: Saturday Jan 31st, 3pm
Where: 24 Cecil St.

US intervention in the Caribbean threatens energy supplies, shipping lanes, trade routes and the livelihoods of millions across Latin America and the Caribbean. But it is also a deliberate assault on Cuba. During the first Trump administration, Venezuelan oil shipments to Cuba were sanctioned to worsen shortages. Today, by attacking trade between Cuba and its closest regional partner, Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are pursuing their long-held objective: to isolate, economically strangle, and politically destabilise both Cuba and Venezuela.

Stand with Venezuela and Cuba against imperialist intervention and to defend peace, sovereignty, and the right of nations to determine their own futures.

When: Saturday Jan 31st, 1pm
Where: Dentonia Park Clubhouse, 80 Thyra Ave

A growing climate of hate is being fuelled by policies attacking immigrants. Anti-immigrant rhetoric, Islamophobia, and Antisemitism have emboldened far-right groups in our neighbourhood to spread their hate. Please join this community discussion about the reality of life for newcomers, how we can overcome myths that seek to blame immigrants, and how we can build unity and diversity while opposing division and hatred.
