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 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.
