Mar 25, 2026 - FilmSocial: Norma Rae

When: March 25th, 7pm (Doors open at 6:30pm.)
Where: Eyesore Cinema, 1176 Bloor St W

The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is very pleased to present Norma Rae (1979) as the next film in the FilmSocial series of socialist film screenings.

Set in a small-town Southern textile mill, the film follows Norma Rae (Sally Field), a courageous worker and single mother, who becomes politically active in her workplace after meeting Reuben Warshowsky (Ron Liebman), a charismatic New York labour organizer who arrives in town to confront crushing employment conditions at the factory and help workers form their own union. After her father dies suddenly on the mill floor, Norma is thrown deeper into the struggle, risking her job, relationships, and community standing to confront the bosses and organise her often-reluctant coworkers.

Mar 24, 2026 - The Radical Labour of Care

When: Tuesday March 24th, 2pm
Where: George Brown Polytechnic, 200 King St. E., St James Campus, Room SJA 455E

How can we reimagine the systems that continue to fail the city's most vulnerable people through radical approaches to care? In an increasingly hostile and unaffordable city where housing, healthcare, and other basic needs are increasingly inaccessible, this Transformation Cafe explores the everyday/night labour of care work through decolonial and intersectional feminist perspectives.

Featuring Claire Dion Fletcher, an Indigenous midwife, leader, and educator; Lorraine Lam, a crisis outreach worker, case manager, and advocate in Toronto's Downtown East; and Grissel Orellana, the Program Director of the Latinx Womyn's Program at the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape, this conversation will examine how panelists intervene in state cruelty by identifying the gaps and harms within systems that claim to provide care, and how to build practices of mutual aid, community safety, and collective survival.
