May 7, 2026 - Youth Climate Corps Mass Organizing Call

When: Thursday May 7th, 6pm

As our government pushes forward with LNG nation-building projects and more AI data centers, youth unemployment remains at record highs -- with 108,000 permanent full-time jobs lost in February alone. The recently announced Youth Climate Corps pilot, which according to our estimates will only employ 350 youth across Canada, falls far short of addressing the scale of the crises we face.

Now is the time to escalate our organizing and build momentum as we gear up to see the YCC pilot launch.

May 3, 2026 - Journalism in a Time of Crisis

When: Sunday May 3rd, 6:30pm
Where: Innis Town Hall, 2 Sussex Ave
Fundraiser: $0 - $50

Discussion with the editorial director of The Grind and special guests about how journalists can better cover social movement struggles

Today we face political crises and also a media crisis. Awful mainstream media coverage of Israel's genocide in Gaza and of the Palestine solidarity movement in Canada further clarified this. But this is not new. Legacy outlets like the Globe & Mail and Postmedia (National Post, Toronto Sun, etc) were built to uphold the status quo, including supporting the West's imperialist interests abroad. Sometimes, it can feel like this media consensus is inescapable.
