Jan 29, 2026 - Higher Education Organizing Meeting

When: January 29th, 6:30pm
Where: College Street United Church, 502 Bathurst St

Building on our first successful meeting in November, we're forging ahead with our sectoral-wide organizing strategy in the higher education sector. Our second organizing meeting, which will be held on January 15th, is focused on creating a Solidarity Pact for higher education workers. Sean Smith - a former activist and organizer with the Toronto Airport Workers Council - will be joining us to discuss what a solidarity pact is, how Toronto Airport Workers used it as an organizing tool, and how we can develop something similar to build our collective power across the education sector.

The purpose of January's meeting is threefold: (1) understanding what a Solidarity Pact is and how it can help us develop unity across the sector; (2) begin constructing our own Solidarity Pact; and (3) strategize ways we can use our Solidarity Pact as an organizing tool across the higher education sector.

Big Tech aims to subject everything, from advertising and shopping, to logistics and financial services to the level of control and predictability that capital has secured in industrial production.
