When: Friday September 25th, 6 to 9pm

Do you or your union have old objects from labour's past kicking around your basement, attic, closet, or union office?

They could be labour banners, charters, pictures, books, pamphlets, newspapers, buttons, pins, mugs, T-shirts - anything that helps to tell the story of workers in this city.

It's time to dig them out and show them off. So dig them out and contact us at cheron@yorku.ca. We'll arrange to display them on the night of the celebration.

Sep 20, 2026 - Understanding Capitalism

When: September 20th to November 8th
Free/recommended donation: $40

Frustrated with capitalism and its impacts on human beings and the planet? Do you believe that a more equitable, democratic, and liberatory society is possible?

Waking up from the capitalist nightmare requires a clear understanding of what we are up against: how we understand capitalism, how it works, and how it compels us to act in certain ways - these all shape what kinds of strategies will be needed to move beyond it.

This course will approach these questions and others through An Introduction to the Three Volumes of Karl Marx's Capital by Michael Heinrich, one of most approachable and understandable guides through Marx's masterwork. Capital remains the most important work of critical analysis of capitalism in history, through its exploration of the economic principles that govern capitalism, and the problems faced by workers and society.

Sep 1, 2026 - Save Public healthcare

When: September 1st, 4pm
Where: Danielle Martin's office, 622 College St

Our sister coalition in Alberta - the Friends of Medicare - has asked us all to help stop Alberta's government from ending single tier public health care in Canada. They are working their hardest in Alberta but we need to be helping across the country. The situation is extremely urgent. As of Sept. 1 Alberta will bring in U.S. private health insurance and start to sell access to two-tier medicare, pushing most people back in line, moving physicians out of the public system to serve those who can pay, and bringing in the private insurance companies (which are currently banned under Canada's medicare laws). The latter is, of course, the goal of the legislation.
