Sep 19, 2026 - Cut Ties with Genocide, Stand with Sudan

When: Saturday, September 19th, 2pm

Over the past year, the Canadian government has undertaken aggressive efforts to strengthen and expand economic ties with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), while it directly enables the genocidal Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan. The Canadian government cannot escape the reality that continuing to arm and deepen economic ties with the UAE means deepening complicity in one of the most devastating conflicts and genocides of the twenty-first century.

This call will feature esteemed scholars Dr. Iman, Rania El Mugammar, and Ismail Ahmed, facilitated by organizers with the Sudan Solidarity Collective and World BEYOND War.

Sep 20, 2026 - Rally and March for Migrant Justice

When: September 20th, 2pm
Where: Pits Park, 750 Bloor W

Migrants make Canada work. We care for children and elders, grow food, build homes, and keep communities running.

But the government is pushing migrants out instead of giving people equal rights. Permits are expiring, being refused, cancelled, or made impossible to renew. Refugees are under attack. People are being deported. Families are being separated. Those who remain are forced to work with fewer rights and more fear.

At the same time, working class people are being squeezed by high rents, low wages, service cuts, and insecurity. Migrants are being blamed for a crisis created by underfunding, privatization, corporate greed, and governments that put the rich first.

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.
