Sep 19, 2026 - Cut Ties with Genocide, Stand with Sudan

When: Saturday, September 19th, 2pm

Over the past year, the Canadian government has undertaken aggressive efforts to strengthen and expand economic ties with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), while it directly enables the genocidal Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan. The Canadian government cannot escape the reality that continuing to arm and deepen economic ties with the UAE means deepening complicity in one of the most devastating conflicts and genocides of the twenty-first century.

This call will feature esteemed scholars Dr. Iman, Rania El Mugammar, and Ismail Ahmed, facilitated by organizers with the Sudan Solidarity Collective and World BEYOND War.

Sep 17, 2026 - Carceral Roots of the Anti-Trans Backlash

When: September 17th, 7pm
Where: Another Story Bookshop, 315 Roncesvalles Ave

Join Lamble to discuss their new book Unsafe: The Carceral Roots of the Anti-Trans Backlash! With Syrus Marcus Ware.

The twenty-first century "gender wars" have been driven by a powerful and seductive narrative: that safety can be secured through exclusion, surveillance, and the policing of difference. These punitive logics have gained momentum across the political spectrum, fueling an anti-trans backlash and distorting the meaning of safety itself.
