Fighting Far-Right Populism at Home and Abroad

Far-right populism and climate denial are on the rise globally. Anti-science politicians are preying on the economic anxieties of working people but, once elected, they cut climate policies, gut public services, scapegoat marginalized communities, and turn the keys of power over to the corporate elite.

Join 350 Canada to hear from organizers in the US, the UK, and Canada about the lessons they have learned fighting far right populism in recent elections.

Then we will share our plans to fight back ahead of our own federal election. It’s not too late to change course and prepare our movement for all outcomes. Be the first to hear about our bold new campaign to win a better future for all of us!

🗓️ This online event will be on Tuesday, November 26 at 4pm PT / 5pm MT / 6pm CT / 7pm ET / 8pm AT / 8:30pm NT.

RSVP now and we’ll send you the Zoom link.

🗣️ Guest Speakers:

Jeff Ordower: North American Director at 350.org
Janelle Lapointe: Senior Advisor at the David Suzuki Foundation
Tommy Vickerstaff: UK Team Lead at 350.org
Members of the 350 Canada team

The Climate Summit: Post Election 2019, What’s Next?

The upcoming federal election will have ramifications across the country, but perhaps nowhere will it be felt more than for those of us working on climate solutions and towards climate justice.

As such, we’re organizing an opportunity for folks to come together a week after to learn, discuss, and plan for the reality we’ll find ourselves in. This will include a discussion led by a panel of experts, an intentional networking session, and a solutions salon to ensure everyone leaves with some ways to move forward.

When: Monday, October 28th, 1pm-4:30pm

Where: Bigger Bolder, CSI Spadina Ave

The Summit is a members-only event designed to help you accelerate your work and maximize your CSI experience. Huzzah! You’ll meet amazing like-minded people, build strategic connections, find solutions to your needs and find others who have needs you’ll be able to solve; it will be awesome!

We aim to make these events open to everyone and so if the ticket price is a barreir please reach out to Stefan(at)socialinnovation.ca.

Transport Futures – Federal Election Transportation Debate

As federal election campaigning gets underway, an Abacus Data poll suggests that Canadians are far less concerned about transit than they are about the cost of living, healthcare and climate change.

Yet each of these “top 3” issues is directly connected to government policy decisions that influence personal and business transportation choices.

To ensure that voters are aware of these connections when they enter the ballot box, Transport Futures has invited candidates from the Liberals, Conservatives, New Democrats, Greens and People’s Party to debate their respective transport strategies as they pertain to road, transit, rail, airport and marine infrastructure as well as related equity, safety, technology, environmental, funding, governance and leadership issues. Ben Spurr, transportation reporter for the Toronto Star, will be moderating the debate and audience Q&A.

Seating is limited and regular rates end on September 15 so register today! For further information, please visit www.transportfutures.ca/election or email [email protected].
