May 8, 2026 - Planning in the Face of Fascism

When: May 8 to 10
Where University of Toronto, 170 St George St

Planners Network, a network of progressive planners, academics, students and activists based in North America, also known as Turtle Island, and beyond, is seeking proposals for the conference celebrating its 50th anniversary: Planning in the Face of Fascism.

The theme of this conference engages the pressing political challenge confronting progressive people around the world, namely, the global resurgence of the phenomenon popularly known as fascism. While there are of course still academic debates on the proper name to grasp the nature of the current conjuncture, it is clear that the various situations in which planners work--in relation to forces of state, economy and people - are being decisively shaped by comparatively varied combinations of authoritarianism and the far right.

May 7, 2026 - Higher Education Organizing

When: May 7th, 6:30pm
Where: College St UC, 502 Bathurst St

The Higher Education Working Group of the Socialist Project invites you to join us for our next organizing meeting!

The Ford government's assault on higher education doesn't stop at workers. The recently announced OSAP cuts are a direct attack on low-income and working-class students. These cuts further marketize education, making a naked assertion that the only factors students should consider in their studies are the needs of potential future employers. We must defend public education for the public good.

The next Higher Education Labour Working Group meeting will focus on student struggle and student-worker alliances. We'll hear from student speakers and explore how higher education workers can meaningfully support student organizing. We'll discuss how workers can help students resisting OSAP cuts, how student issues can be brought into bargaining demands, and how we can better support student-worker unionization efforts.

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.
