Climate Justice 101 Orientation

Anxious about the climate crisis and itching to do something about it? Climate Justice Toronto (CJTO) is here for you! Join us on Monday Nov 25th from 6-8 PM at the Workers’ Action Centre for an in-depth orientation to learn about how we’re collectively fighting for transformative climate action. You don’t need a degree in policy or years of activism under your belt to organize with us; all are welcome!

DATE: Monday November 25th
TIME: 6:00-8:00 PM
LOCATION: 720 Spadina Avenue, Suite 226 (Workers’ Action Centre)

ORIENTATION STRUCTURE: This orientation will make space for deeper discussion of the root causes of the climate crisis, such as capitalism, colonialism, and white supremacy. We’ll also explore CJTO’s grassroots & youth-led organizing structure, guiding principles, and theory of change. Finally, we’ll end with a short canvass training so you’ll feel comfortable talking about climate justice when you’re petitioning, and really with everyone you know! This orientation will be grounding and informative for not only newcomers but also CJTO members who have been coming out to meetings and actions.
