Nov 12, 2026 - Fighting to Win

When: Nov 12 to Dec 2

Unions and social movements today are operating under incredibly dire circumstances. There is great economic uncertainty and we confront the worsening impact of climate change as well as a global situation marked by the growing threat of conflict and war. When workers strike or communities under attack take to the streets, it seems that victories are much harder to win and past gains more difficult to defend.

This course will grapple with these questions by looking at the forms of exploitation and oppression that exist in society and the means by which the power structure acts to limit and contain our struggles. The course will move towards a discussion of how our movements can overcome the factors that hold them back and fight to win!

Nov 8, 2026 - Filmscreening: Naza

When: November 8th, 1pm
Where: Hot Docs

The directors behind Oscar-winning documentary, No Other Land return with a searing film that turns its investigative lens to the systems behind Israel's military campaign in Gaza. Clandestinely filmed at night from rooftops in Tel Aviv, NAZA reveals testimony from Israeli military insiders examining how technology and intelligence protocols have shaped the war. Building upon reporting done by The Guardian, +972 Magazine and Local Call, the film takes its title from a military acronym used to indicate the number of civilians expected to be killed in an airstrike. NAZA premiered in competition at Venice, where it received the Special Jury Prize.
