SUMMARY:Unfree Labour? Meet the editor\, Aziz Choudry
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade\, Canada has experienced considerable growth in labour migration. Moreover\, temporary labour migration has replaced permanent immigration as the primary means by which people enter Canada. Utilizing the rhetoric of maintaining competitiveness\, Canadian employers and the state have ushered in an era of neoliberal migration alongside an agenda of austerity flowing from capitalist crisis. Labour markets have been restructured to render labour more flexible and precarious\, and in Canada as in other high-income capitalist labour markets\, employers are relying on migrant and immigrant workers as “unfree labour.”

SUMMARY:Jobs\, Justice and the Climate
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this exciting forum on connecting the fight to stop climate change with the struggle for social and economic justice for First Nations and working class communities. \nLocation: Unifor’s Western Regional Office (15 minutes walking from New Westminster Skytrain Station) \nFormat: One hour panel speeches followed by one hour of open discussion and a brief wrap up. \nDonations at the door are appreciated but no one will be turned away. \nOrganizations that wish to participate in the event can contact us directly through our Facebook page and request space to set up a table and hang a banner in the room. \nPURPOSE\nPolitical leaders and oil industry pundits have divided us for years claiming that we have to make a choice between good jobs and strong communities on the one hand and justice for First Nations and real climate action on the other. Yet the impacts of climate change are already being felt in BC\, killing jobs and local economies dependent on fisheries and forestry\, with First Nations and working class communities suffering the consequences. \nThis forum is aimed at dispelling the myth that we have to sacrifice the environment to create jobs and showing how real climate justice is only possible by uniting the struggle for First Nations justice and reconciliation and the struggle for a just transition to good green jobs for workers in the fossil fuel industry. \nSPEAKERS\nMelina Laboucan-Massimo – Lubicon Solar \nRuss Day – President\, Unifor Local 601 (Chevron Refinery Workers) \nLliam Hildebrand – Iron and Earth (ironandearth.org) \nMarc Lee – Chief Economist\, Climate Justice Project – Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives \nLUBICON SOLAR (http://www.lubiconsolar.ca/)\nLubicon Solar is one of many inspiring examples of First Nations leading the way in creating green jobs for their communities and building the infrastructure of a green economy. And it’s happening in the heart of the Alberta Tar Sands! \nUNIFOR Local 601 represents refinery workers at the Chevron Refinery in Burnaby which refines 60% of the fuel consumed in the Lower Mainland. They have joined the fight\, along with their national union\, to stop Kinder Morgan as it directly threatens their jobs. \nIRON AND EARTH (ironandearth.org) is an exciting initiative led by workers in the Alberta oil industry to accelerate the transition to good green jobs by creating government funded training opportunities and pushing for green energy projects. \nCCPA’s Climate Justice Project (https://www.policyalternatives.ca/projects/climate-justice-project) has led the way in developing the economic arguments for a rapid transition to a green economy that is run on 100% renewables.

SUMMARY:News Conference: Stop the Chinatown Econ Revitalization Plan
DESCRIPTION:Chinatown Concern Group is holding a news conference on Monday morning to address the lack of transparency and respect that the City and its policy reviews have shown towards the working class Chinese community in Chinatown. Last month’s open house regarding the Chinatown Economic Revitalization Update and Development Policies Review was poorly planned and organized; notices with vague and exclusive language were not received by many buildings in the neighborhood and no revisions were made to the controversial Historic Area Heights Review that attracted so many condo developers to the neighborhood. \nCome and hear members speak about their fears and frustrations with the rate of development and exclusionary public consultation processes. \nThe press conference will be taking place on Main (near E Georgia)\, where a gentrifying Italian grocer will be opening in a couple weeks on December 3rd. This is in light of the recent trend of Chinese grocers serving the low income community closing down\, as well as local favorite\, 110 year old Italian grocer Tosi and Company.

SUMMARY:Stop Kinder Morgan: No Consent No Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:Prime Minister Trudeau’s decision on Kinder Morgan is fast approaching. Now more than ever we need a show of force to show that – no matter his choice – this region will do whatever it takes to stop this pipeline. We need to bring the spirit of Standing Rock\, where Indigenous-led grassroots opposition stopped a pipeline\, to the West Coast. \nRALLY AND MARCH\nWe will start with a brief rally at City Hall followed by a march across the Cambie Street Bridge and end at Library Square with speakers and music. This will be a family friendly event with The Peace Bearers marshalling the march. Further details addressing accessibility are coming soon. \nTAKE THE PLEDGE\nWe’re launching a “Take the Pledge” campaign to prepare for escalating actions in the event Trudeau’s cabinet approves the Kinder Morgan pipeline at the end of December. People will be able to sign the pledge and commit to supporting whatever action is necessary to stop the pipeline including peaceful civil disobedience. On November 19th we will conduct a mass public pledge to demonstrate to cabinet the scale of opposition they are facing if they attempt to move forward with Kinder Morgan. If Trudeau wants Clayoquot Sound 2.0 in the middle of Metro Vancouver – he’ll get it. \nACKNOWLEDGEMENT\nThis event takes place on the traditional\, unceded\, occupied territories of the Coast Salish peoples: the mi ce:p kʷətxʷiləm (Tsleil-Waututh)\, Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish)\, and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. \nMore details coming soon… \nNext Organizing Meeting\nWednesday\, October 12th (and 19th)\n7:00 to 9:00pm\nRoom B144 at Langara College \nAll groups\, organizations and individuals who want to contribute to the organizing and building of this mobilization are welcome to attend. \nYou can also message us directly through the Climate Convergence Facebook page to get more information on how to get involved.

SUMMARY:Screening: Hogan's Alley (1994)
DESCRIPTION:221A invites you to a screening of Andrea Fatona and Cornelia Wyngaarden’s Hogan’s Alley (1994)\, on Friday\, November 18 at 7pm. This event is part of a series of public programs for Rereading Room: The Vancouver Women’s Bookstore. \nIn the late 1960’s\, the City of Vancouver laid out extensive plans for ‘urban renewal’\, promising to radically transform the neighborhoods east of the downtown core. Central to this project was the construction of the Georgia Viaduct\, a twinned overpass bridge that would connect Downtown Vancouver to Main Street. If carried through according to the proposed plan\, the bridge would have displaced many of East Vancouver’s working class communities and ethnic conclaves\, including what we know now as Strathcona\, Chinatown\, and Gastown. While these areas were ultimately saved from demolition through effective community campaigning\, in 1970 the city proceeded in flattening Hogan’s Alley\, a neighbourhood that had been home to Vancouver’s first and last predominantly black community. \nHogan’s Alley presents the oral histories of Pearl Brown\, Leah Curtis\, and Thelma Gibson Towns\, three women whose narratives speak to the entangled complexities of class\, gender\, and sexuality\, as articulated in the life and aftermath of the disappeared neighbourhood. The video not only serves as a record of Hogan’s Alley and the history of black life in Vancouver\, but today takes on a renewed purpose in activating this history in the wake of the City of Vancouver’s recent plans to remove the Georgia Viaduct and redevelop the land for new housing and condominiums. \nCornelia Wyngaarden will be present during the screening for remarks and questions. The event will be followed by a reception.

SUMMARY:From Standing Rock to Burnaby Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Leadnow invites you to a free public event to hear about the growing\, continent-wide opposition to new pipelines like the Kinder Morgan and Dakota Access Pipelines. \nThurs. Nov. 17th\, 7:00-9:00pm (doors at 6:30)\nSFU Harbour Centre (515 W Hastings St)\n(see childcare details below) \nCanada’s federal government could approve the Kinder Morgan pipeline before the end of the year. In both the United States and Canada\, the Dakota Access Pipeline faces fierce resistance from Indigenous communities defending land\, water\, and sacred sites. \nCan direct action stop these new pipelines? How will fossil fuel companies and governments respond? Join us for a discussion with Indigenous and community leaders about the implications of direct action on stopping new fossil fuel infrastructure. \n## Confirmed Speakers: \nTara Houska is Ojibwe from the Couchiching First Nation has been involved with the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline in Standing Rock. She is a tribal attorney and National Campaigns Director for Honor the Earth. In February 2016\, Houska was appointed Native American advisor to Bernie Sanders’ campaign for President. Her work is raising the profile of important issues\, like the impact of fossil fuel extraction on women\, their children and communities and the treatment of Indigenous people by private companies and police. \nGrand Chief Stewart Phillip is the President of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs\, an organization of First Nations that works toward the “implementation\, exercise\, and recognition” of Aboriginal Rights and Title and the protection of land and water. The Grand Chief was arrested by the RCMP\, along with more than a hundred others\, during the 2014 Burnaby Mountain encampment opposing the Kinder Morgan pipeline. \n## About the Kinder Morgan Pipeline\nKinder Morgan plans to make the Burrard Inlet a major tar sands export terminal by building new facilities including a pipeline and fuel tanks. The changes will add seven times as many tankers per month to Vancouver’s narrow harbour\, increasing the likelihood of a dangerous spill of irrecoverable diluted tar sands bitumen. More than 50 Indigenous nations across North America have signed the Treaty Alliance pledging to block all proposed pipeline and tanker projects affecting First Nations’ land and water\, including the Kinder Morgan plan. In December\, the federal government will make a decision about whether to approve or reject this proposal. \n## About the Dakota Access Pipeline\nIf completed\, the US$3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline would carry about 470\,000 barrels of crude oil per day from the low-quality\, high-cost Bakken oilfields to Illinois. In the largest gathering of First Nations in modern American history\, Indigenous peoples have set up a defenders’ camp on land belonging to the US Army Corps of Engineers in North Dakota. \nIn September\, private security attacked Indigenous peoples with dogs\, sound cannons\, and pepper spray at an encampment defending the Standing Rock Sioux tribal burial site. In September\, the Obama administration ordered a stop to all pipeline construction on US Army Corp land and called for a “voluntary pause” on all construction activity. Nationwide solidarity actions have mobilized to compel President Obama to revoke the pipeline’s permits. \nThis event takes place on the traditional\, unceded\, occupied territories of the səlil̓wətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish)\, and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. \nWe are working on making childcare available at this event. Please send an e-mail to rachel@leadnow.ca if this is something you require. Thanks!

SUMMARY:VAN Call To Action:We Stand With#StandingRock
DESCRIPTION:This event is hosted on occupied\, unceded Coast Salish territories \nOn Tuesday\, November 15th\, join a massive day of action in solidarity with those at Standing Rock\, and demand the American government and the Army Corps reject the Dakota Access Pipeline. \nIndigenous land defenders in the land occupied by the United States of America are now facing the Trump presidency. Trump has vowed to fast-track pipeline projects\, remove environmental protections\, renew the leases of coal mines\, and rescind executive orders relating to resource extraction projects. The Keystone XL pipeline will be back on the table. The Dakota Access pipeline will proceed with all the violent\, racist force of Trump’s administration. \nThe water protectors at Standing Rock need our support NOW\, more than ever. \nIndigenous peoples have been standing strong across Turtle Island\, protecting the land and water for future generations. The #noDAPL fight at Standing Rock is part of a network of land protectors and warriors. We declare our support for ALL Indigenous peoples resisting the destruction of their territories\, and this action links Standing Rock with other land defense struggles in so-called British Columbia\, at Unist’ot’en\, Lelu Island\, Madii Lii\, the Peace River Valley\, Ahousaht\, and many more. \nTHE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW. Stand with Indigenous peoples. Stand with the Oceti Sakowin. Kill the black snake. #noDAPL #MniWiconi #WaterIsLife

SUMMARY:Demovict the Metrotown Plan! Save 3000 homes!
DESCRIPTION:At the end of November\, Burnaby Council will vote on the future of every resident of low-rise apartments in the Metrotown area. If Council passes the proposed Metrotown Plan update\, they will “up-zone” every rental apartment between Boundary and Royal Oak\, and Kingsway and Imperial for condo towers that will not be affordable for the current residents. \nThe Metrotown Plan will immediately impact the approximately six thousand people living in buildings inside its zone\, and then it will affect every renter in the lower mainland as we lose 3\,000 purpose-built rental apartments from our already strained\, near-zero vacancy rate rental stock. \nMayor Corrigan’s council has ignored and denied the demovicting effectsof their rezoning policies so far\, so we know it will take pressure to stop the plan. It is not too late to stop the Metrotown Plan – join those facing eviction to save their three thousand homes! Together we march to demand: \nDemovict the plan; Save 3000 homes! Burnaby Council must reject the “Downtown” Metrotown Plan and start from scratch with participation of the affected community to develop a “regional growth plan” that doesn’t displace established residents. Lower mainland renters can’t handle the loss of three thousand apartment units. \nPlacement before displacement! Hundreds of renters are already scheduled to be evicted through rezonings permitted under Burnaby’s old Metrotown plan and approved by City Council\, and they report that Burnaby’s existing tenant relocation supports are inadequate. We call on Burnaby council to ensure every renter is placed in new housing they can afford before they are displaced from their existing homes. \nOrganized by the Stop Demovictions Burnaby Campaign\nhttp://stopdisplacement.ca/burnaby\norganize@stopdisplacement.ca\nTwitter: @stopdisplacemnt\nFacebook: Against Displacement

SUMMARY:Workshop: Self Empathy and Communication Skills
DESCRIPTION:Do you take a moment to check in with yourself and you are met with a chorus of conflicting voices? \nHow do you navigate this inner landscape and find your way to a sense of peace and clarity? \nIn this workshop you will learn a concrete framework and set of skills to meet your experience in a way that opens the door to compassion and wise discernment. \nInternal conflict and external stressors leave you feeling depleted and confused. You need a new way through. You have likely given a lot to others and are ready to give some gifts to yourself. It’s difficult to know what you really need and how you thrive\, especially when social conditioning exhorts you to maintain an external focus. \nIn facing difficult situations or even your own high standards\, you can sometimes have an inner committee of thoughts and feelings pulling you different directions. Trying to make sense of it can be tiring work. You need a break from internal processing that goes in circles and self-analysis that leaves you feeling disconnected. \nIn this one day workshop you will learn to make sense of your internal world with a simple and direct framework that also enables you to meet yourself with compassion. You will practice identifying your feelings and needs and committing to effective action. In the framework of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)\, this is called self-empathy. \nSelf-empathy is a subtle skill that teaches compassionate witnessing of your experience (mindfulness). Learning self-empathy isn’t about affirmations or trying to talk yourself out of your feelings. It’s about identifying disconnecting thoughts\, beliefs\, habits\, and old stories\, and finding the way to your heart’s longing. \nAs you learn the skill of self-empathy it gets easier to translate self-critical thoughts and judgments of others into feelings and needs and the actions to meet needs. Over time\, you find that you don’t take things so personally and that you have more confidence in meeting difficult situations. \nJoin us for this one day workshop and learn and practice coming into compassionate relationship with yourself. Need more information before you sign up? Keep scrolling down for workshop content. \nWHAT TO EXPECT: \nFirst Half of the Afternoon: We will begin by naming and defining the foundational elements that make self-empathy practice accessible. These elements are: \n• Inner Compassionate Witness: This means having a “you” that can step back from your experience and notice what’s happening with gentleness.\n• Commitment/Intention: the practice of choosing moment by moment to pursue truth\, joy\, love\, & well-being.\n• Self-study: How do you thrive? How do you block nourishment? Recognizing feelings and needs\, & recognizing patterns.\n• Skills: Learn to practice an inner dialogue structure. Learn to name feelings\, and needs\, and make specific requests.\n• Practice: Maintain consistent engagement in that which supports your thriving.\n• Fluid Access to Core Truths: This means that you are able to easily articulate the core truths that contribute a thriving life. \nSecond Half of the Afternoon: Facing Others’ Reactivity and Staying Centered \nWe will now turn our attention toward external situations that trigger reactivity and how to stay connected to yourself in those difficult situations. We will start by naming common triggers. In addition to the self-empathy skills you have been practicing\, I will demonstrate some ways that make it easier to access those skills when someone is in front of you and you feel pressure to respond. \nResponding to Shame\, Guilt\, Anger\, and Depression \nShame\, guilt\, anger\, and depression are important alarm feelings. They indicate that a certain kind of thinking is happening for you. Specifically\, with shame\, you are having some version of a thought that you are a bad person. With guilt you are having some version of a thought that you should or shouldn’t have behaved in a particular way. For anger you are having some version of a thought that others or life should or shouldn’t be as it is. For depression\, you are having some version of a thought that you should or shouldn’t have certain feelings and needs. These feelings only arise in relationship to a cherished need or value\, so it’s essential to be able to turn towards these feelings and connect with the life giving energy underneath. \nAppreciation/Celebration and Responding to the Inner Committee \nAn important part of creating a consistent compassionate inner dialogue is the practice of noticing when needs are met. This means giving as much reflection and attention to yourself when you are thriving as when you are struggling. You will practice three different formats for appreciating and celebrating yourself. \nAt the end of the class\, we will do a closing circle and talk about next steps in your practice. \nWe will take two 30 minute breaks during the day. Please bring a potluck item or lunch with you. \nDo you need to know more before deciding whether to join us or not? Please give Kayte Gillespie a call or send an email with any questions you have. I am happy to talk with you. 778-919-5283 wcciassociation@gmail.com \nFacilitator: Kayte Gillespie \nRegistration\n$45 per person (includes workshop and handouts) \nYou do not have to have any experience in NVC to attend this workshop. The content in this workshop is a building block of the NVC (or compassionate communication) method. Please feel welcome to forward to friends and family. \nTo register please send an etransfer or paypal to wcciassociation@gmail.com and include your full name\, email and name of the workshop (as we have many at this time) \nCANCELLATION POLICY: to meet needs for inclusion\, security\, and predictability refunds are only given if requested 72 hours before the start of the course\, so please discern carefully.

SUMMARY:Stop Kinder Morgan to Stop DAPL - IntersAction!
DESCRIPTION:Part of the mobilization to Stop Kinder Morgan – November 19th\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/128002137658093/ \nJoin us as we stand in solidarity with the water protectors of Standing Rock and speak out against the inhuman treatment of peaceful Indigenous protestors. To win the fight against climate change we must stand united\, indigenous and settler\, to fight against ongoing colonial opression and violence.

This way we can be seen by the most people. \nStop Kinder Morgan November 19th\nWe will be handing out leaflets to pedestrians and drivers for the November 19th Stop Kinder Morgan Rally and March. There will be drumming and songs\, speeches from the megaphone and a ton of leaflets to give out and petitions to sign. \nHope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Teach-in: Boycott and Divest from G4$
DESCRIPTION:G4$ is the world’s largest security company and third largest private sector employer\, profiting from war and occupation\, mass incarceration of oppressed people and development aggression across the planet. They have a large contract providing ‘security services’ for the Israeli prisons\, the Apartheid Wall and at occupation check-points. They run prisons around the world\, including immigration detention centres that warehouse criminalized immigrants and refugees in Ontario. And they have recently been revealed to be ‘securing’ the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline across Indigenous territories in the U.S. \nJoin us for a teach in on G4$: case studies of G4S’s collaboration with imperialist war\, occupation\, plunder and exploitation; specific information about G4S operations locally; discussion on how we can increase practical solidarity between struggles based on our common enemy; information on the campaign to boycott and divest from G4S in Canada. \nCo-Hosted by BDS Vancouver – Coast Salish Territories\, Young Communist League – Vancouver\, International Leauge of Peoples Struggles in Canada and the Centre for Socialist Education
