SUMMARY:Unlearning Anti-Blackness 101
DESCRIPTION:We would like to acknowledge that this event is taking place on the ancestral\, traditional and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm\, Skxwú7mesh\, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations\, on whose territories we live and organize. As stewards of these lands\, we would like to recognize the tremendous labour that has gone into nurturing and protecting these traditional lands\, and the many ways in which indigenous resistance has deeply informed our own activism. \n~~\nUnlearning Anti-Blackness 101 is a workshop for allies (white folks and non-black people of colour) to understand the ways in which anti-blackness is so violent and yet so pervasive in our society\, especially in a city with such a small black population. This workshop is not an Ally™ badge / license to use the N word / an undoing of centuries of colonial and racial violence towards Black people. It is a small step in a life-long journey of unlearning anti-black racism and working towards creating communities that are safe and welcoming for Black folks. We invite you to join us for a facilitated conversation around unlearning anti-blackness. \n**REGISTRATION IS CURRENTLY CLOSED** \nWe are at capacity for this workshop. If you have registered and can no longer attend\, please let us know so we can open spots. We will be sending confirmation emails soon. \nDATE: March 14th\nTIME: 6PM-8PM\nLOCATION: TBA (within Metro Vancouver)\nCOST: $20-50 (sliding scale)*\nFACILITATORS: Cicely-Belle Blain\, Ivan Leonce \n*If you are able to contribute on the higher end of the scale\, please consider doing so\, so that other people\, especially non-black people of colour are able to attend. Payments will go towards room rental\, snacks\, ASL intepretation and facilitator labour. Any additional donations would be much appreciated to reduce the cost of this workshop and future workshops. \n*We have received donations to fully cover the cost of some spots for low-income/poor folks at this workshop. We are currently able to offer 6 FREE spots. Please let us know if you aren’t able to financially contribute at this time – no questions asked. \n*Black folks are absolutely welcome to attend for free. We also want to acknowledge that unlearning anti-blackness necessitates the important naming\, sharing and processing of emotions for non-black folks. If you do choose to attend\, please let us know how we can best support you before and after the workshop. \nFor any questions\, please email cicelyblain@gmail.com. \nFor any concerns around whiteness\, that may not be appropriate to message the facilitators about\, please contact the Critial Whiteness Network at criticalwhitenessnetwork@gmail.com. \n***ACESSIBILITY*** \nThe Gordon Neighbourhood House:\n– is wheelchair accessible\n– includes accessible\, single stall\, gender-neutral washrooms\n– is scent-reduced\n– has an elevator \nMore information here: http://gordonhouse.org/about-gordon-neighbourhood-house/accessibility-details/ \nASL-English interpretation will be provided. We will be connecting with folks who have named this need about preferred intepreters and their specific needs later this week. \nRefreshments will be provided. We will be including a form for you to let us know your needs around refreshments in the confirmation email. \nWe ask that folks help us maintain a scent-reduced environment by not wearing fragrances or scents to this event. You can find more information about how to attend scent-reduced spaces here: (http://www.brownstargirl.org/blog/fragrance-free-femme-of-colour-realness-draft-15). \nThere will be active-listeners available at the workshop if folks need someone to check-in with 1-on-1 about feelings that come up for them. \nWe are committed to making this workshop as accessible as possible. Thank you for naming your needs\, we are currently working on getting them all met. If you have questions about accessibility or your needs have changed please email ivanleonce@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Stop the Pipelines: Start the Music - Kwantlen \, Fort Langley
DESCRIPTION:Land Defenders Dinner for invited Allies – 4:30 pm\nDoors for Public event 7:00\nReports from the front lines – 7:15 pm\nSilent auction featuring great art and other intriguing offerings.\nCash draws\nMusic and celebration 8:00 pm -featuring Holly Arntzen \, Ostwelve\, poetry by Justin Bige\, Valeen Jules and Wild Salmon Defenders Alliance drummers and singers \nAdmission by donation. All ages event – children welcome.\nCome on out and show your support for the front line work. \nIn March\, 2017 the Chiefs and other representatives of the Unist’ot’en Clan will be on tour – bringing word of their ongoing stand in defence of their land and against the construction of fossil fuel pipelines.\n\nJoin us for a fundraiser for the Unist’ot’en Camp including paying for the completion of the Healing Lodge. The Camp stands directly in the way of numerous proposed fossil fuel pipelines – both tar sands oil and fracked gas. \nFor a list of other tour venues click here:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/668408633341791/ \nThe Unist’ot’en Territory is located about half way between Prince George and Prince Rupert in northern British Columbia. Numerous bitumen and fracked gas pipelines are proposed to cross this land. The Northern Gateway bitumen pipeline has been stopped as was expected. But industry and government are currently pushing ahead with several fracked gas pipelines. With a Provincial election this May and pressure from the pipeline companies\, the Unist’ot’en are preparing for stepped up incursions onto their land by these companies. \nThe life cycle carbon footprint of fracked gas is similar to that of tar sands bitumen. The process of extracting and liquefying natural gas is extremely destructive to the land and uses huge amounts of energy and water. And\, the contracts being signed for these pipelines allow them to be converted to transport tar sands bitumen after only 5 years. \nThe Unist’ot’en stance is clear – there will be no fossil fuel pipelines built on their land. But the Camp is about much more than this. It is a place of learning\, of healing\, of connecting with nature\, of breaking with the legacy of colonization. Now in its 8th year\, the Unist’ot’en Camp includes an all season bunk house\, a permaculture garden and an under construction Healing Lodge. The Camp is completely drug and alcohol free. \nThe Unist’ot’en Healing Lodge will have indigenous youth as its main focus. The lodge is about 2/3 built and will hopefully be completed this year. It will include a dining hall and kitchen\, counselling and meeting rooms\, a green house and extensive sleeping quarters. \nAt the Healing Lodge\, Indigenous youth will be away from the influences of urban life. They will learn about their culture\, history and language. They will engage in the physical work of restoring the land. And\, they will receive high quality personal counselling. \nFunds raised during the “Stop the Pipelines; Start the Music” Tour will go towards maintaining the Unist’ot’en Camp including paying for the completion of the Healing Lodge. \nTheir website is at – \nhttp://unistotensolidarity.com/ \nThis Unist’ot’en Declaration was issued in the summer of 2015 : \nhttp://forestaction.wdfiles.com/local–files/legal/Press%20Kit%20-%20Unist%27ot%27en%20Declaration%20-%20August%206%2C%202015.pdf

They’ve busked across Europe\, performed in the Brazilian Amazon and Rio’s famous ‘Casa Rosa’\, toured in a Scamper RV the 12\,000 km roundtrip from Vancouver to Panama and circumnavigated the United States twice in their yellow School Bus. \nDavid Morin\nhttp://www.davidmorinmusic.com/\nWith his self released debut album\, Every Colour\, out on Bombay Records\, David Morin plays gigs around the world\naccompanied by a live band. Yet the humble neo-soul singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist still chooses to\nbusk regularly on street corners in his hometown of Vancouver.\nAfter all\, that’s where this 32-year old\, who is of Metis Native American descent\, honed his craft––and his social message.\nLike the man himself\, David Morin’s music is pure\, authentic and from the heart. Self-taught and passionately\ncommitted to being a career artist\, he’s blessed with the ability to turn strangers into fans. \nDavid Beckingham\nhttp://www.davidbeckingham.com/\nDavid Beckingham spent the last 10 years touring\, writing and recording with the Canadian Juno Award nominated trio\, Hey Ocean. During this time his own catalogue of unreleased solo material piled up and in May\, 2016 he released he solo debut\, Just When The Light. The album is loaded with contrast between existential gratitude\, and deep\, personal unrest. It’s about light and shadow\, and the human predisposition toward always yearning for something other than what you have. \nJack Garton and the Demon Squadron\nhttps://jackgarton.com/demonsquadron/\nThe roots roller-coaster band Demon Squadron is the engine behind Jack Garton’s songs. Formed in 2013 and named after Garton’s grandfather’s special ops flight squadron in WWII\, the band is a highly-trained crew of Vancouver’s most unique musical talent. From rockabilly to rocksteady\, country to cajun\, every show is roots music mayhem executed with classic showmanship and wry humour. While touring Western Canada\, Washington State and Alaska\, the Squadron has been honoured to serve on festival main stages\, concert halls\, theatres\, clubs and cook-outs. It’s all in the line of duty for BC’s rambling servicemen and women as they continue to wage Garton’s campaigns of heavy honesty and devastating joy throughout the region.

SUMMARY:Rad Families - book release & social hour
DESCRIPTION:RAD FAMILIES: A CELEBRATION Book Tour & Social Hour\nJoin editor Tomas Moniz and writers scott winn carla bergman and more for an engaging hour of storytelling at Spartacus Books on March 10th at 7:00 pm! \nRAD FAMILIES: A CELEBRATION honors the messy\, the painful\, the playful\, the beautiful\, the myriad ways we create families. This is not an anthology of experts\, or how-to articles on perfect parenting; it often doesn’t even try to provide answers. Instead\, the writers strive to be honest and vulnerable in sharing their stories and experiences\, their failures and their regrets. \nGathering parents and writers from diverse communities\, it explores the process of getting pregnant from trans birth to adoption\, grapples with issues of racism and police brutality\, probes raising feminists and feminist parenting. It plumbs the depths of empty nesting and letting go. It’s a book that reminds us all that we are not alone\, that community can help us get through the difficulties\, can\, in fact\, make us better people. It’s a celebration\, join us! \nPraise: \n“Rad dads\, rad families\, rad children. These stories show us that we are not alone. That we don’t have all the answers. That we are all learning.”\n—Nikki McClure\, illustrator\, author\, parent \n“Rad Families is the collection for all families.” —Innosanto Nagara\, author/illustrator of A Is for Activist \n“This collection takes the anaesthetized myth of parenting and reminds us what intimacy looks like. . . . The contributors describe the contours of family in a way that resonates.” —Virgie Tovar\, editor of Hot & Heavy: Fierce Fat Girls on Life\, Love & Fashion \n“Want a thriving family raising magical kids\, building beloved community\, and rooted in a vision of liberation that frees us all of white supremacist hetero-patriarchy? Read this book.”\n—Chris Crass\, author of Towards Collective Liberation\n“I love this book! Wonderfully written\, tenderly honest\, unabashedly hilarious\, deeply important stories from the messy beautiful world of real-life parenting. Thank goodness it exists.”\n—Michelle Tea\, author of How to Grow Up \nAbout the Editor: \nTomas Moniz is the founder and editor of the award winning zine Rad Dad. He has helped raise three children and has been making zines since the late nineties. He teaches basic skills classes and creative writing at Berkeley City College. He is cofounder and cohost of the successful monthly reading series Lyrics and Dirges as well as the more rambunctious open mic\, Saturday Night Special. His latest novella is Bellies and Buffalos.

SUMMARY:Marxist Women's School
DESCRIPTION:* The Young Communist League – Vancouver Presents *\nMarxist Women’s School\nSaturday\, February 25th @ The Centre For Socialist Education\n706 Clark Dr. Unceded Coast Salish Territories \n* Full Day *\n* Food Provided * \nWant to know more about how capitalism oppresses women\, non-binary and LGBTQ+ folks? Seeking ways to fight capitalism and bring about real change while meeting some rad people? Join the Young Communist League in our women’s school on how Marxism guides the struggle against patriarchy in today’s world! We will address a variety of topics from feminist theory\, LGBTQ+ struggles\, and gender\, race and imperialism\, all with a Marxist lens. \nThe school will focus on introducing these topics\, and invites discussion and participant involvement. Any level of participation is welcome\, while keeping in mind that male-identified folks are encouraged to practice active listening. Vegetarian breakfast and lunch will be provided\, and folks are welcome to show up anytime. Stick around because the school will be followed by dinner by donation and a social with beverages\, open mic\, music and women’s trivia! Why a women’s school? \nOver many years\, women have been fighting against patriarchal oppression. As Marxists\, we need to question how Patriarchy and Racism are linked to Capitalism and how the oppression of women and racialized peoples became intrinsic components of the capitalist system. As such\, it is important to understand the role of gendered and racialized oppression within the capitalist system\, rather than assuming they are separate from it. The women’s struggle past and present shows us that we must not only push back against the capitalist\, racist patriarchy\, but break it. In fact\, one hundred years ago\, on February 1917\, 50\,000 women poured out of the factories and onto the streets\, sparking the first revolution in Russia that would eventually lead to the downfall of the Tsar and their anti-woman policies. Revolution is possible\, and united women\, racialized\, LGBTQ+ and gender oppressed folks will be at the forefront of this movement. Building a truly intersectional movement and educating ourselves is an essential part of strengthening this movement against capitalism. \nIn her latest interview\, Angela Davis makes a strong point regarding the changes happening under capitalism\, stating: “The left\, as we have known it\, as important as it has been\, cannot remain the same force until it adequately counters these developments. Therefore\, it is important for the left to recognise that the constitution of the global working classes is very different now. In many ways the left is still dealing with this notion of the working classes as male\, or white male\, as in the case of the US. I think feminism\, radical feminism\, radical anti-racist and anti-capitalist feminism helps us to do the reconceptualisation that is necessary in order to produce a left that is more in line with the vast changes that have occurred in the era of global capitalism\, recognising the feminisation of the working class\, the structural shifts in the global economy\, of the fact that some industries are largely populated by women\, industries that rely on reproductive labour\, of care industries\, domestic service\, health care\, etc. It seems to me that in many ways\, unions around the world are not willing to recognise those changes. To organise the unorganised\, at this moment\, is to organise women.” \nLearn to struggle\, struggle to learn. See you there! \n*This event takes place on unceeded Coast Salish territory\, and we recognize that in acknowledging this\, it reminds us that we must always be struggling to decolonize our work.* \n*This event is a safe space for LGBTQIA2 folks\, people of colour and women identified folks. Sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, transphobia and any other oppressive behaviours will not be tolerated.* \nSchedule:\n11:00- 11:30- Breakfast\n11:30-1:00- Marxist-Feminist Theory and Practice\n1:00-2:00- Lunch Provided (by men)\n2:00- 3:15- Colonialism & Imperialism with a Gender Lens\n3:30-4:45- The LGBTQ+ Struggle Through a Marxist Lens\n5:00-10:30- Dinner and Social with Women’s Trivia and Open Mic \nPlease share Our Poster and Spread the Word!\nPoster: Made By Meg Iversen\nOriginal Art: “Judith Slaying Holofernes” by Artemisia Gentileschi\nRepresenting: Women Resisting and Fighting Fascism!

SUMMARY:Tomorrow Is Ours: IBPOC Futurisms
DESCRIPTION:Unceded\, ancestral and occupied Cosat Salish Territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓ə\, Skxwú7mesh\, and Tsleil-Waututh people. \n✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰ \n~TOMORROW IS OURS! IBPOC FUTURISMS ~ \n7-Week multi-disciplinary writing workshop. For Indigenous people\, Black people and other people of colour (including mixed-race folks) \nFebruary 22nd – April 5th\, 2016\n\nApplication deadline: Friday\, February 10th \nApply here: bit.ly/2iAY5iy \nMaximum 12 participants \n✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰ \n“Any progressive social change must be imagined first” – Martin Espada \n“Folks being empowered to write themselves into the story is what this is all about. Challenging the idea that only certain people are allowed to tell the narrative of the future is also about challenging the idea that only certain people have the ability to build the future\, or to imagine how our lives should be structured.” – Walidah Imarisha \n✰✰✰ \nWHERE: \nVancouver Status of Women\, 2652 East Hastings\, Vancouver \n✰✰✰ \nWHEN: \n◆3 hour workshops\n◆Wednesday evenings\n◆6 pm – 9 pm\n◆February 22nd – April 5th\n(Please note: Facebook is no longer allowing event pages longer than 2 weeks. This is a 7-week workshop\, not 1 day) \n✰✰✰ \nWHY: \n2016 was a difficult year\, in the midst of difficult decades and centuries\, for Indigenous people\, Black people and other people of colour. The struggles we are facing are not new struggles\, only the latest manifestations of the systems of oppression that seek to silence and erase us. \nNow more than ever\, we feel IBPOC voices are urgently needed in these times to lift up and give hope to ourselves\, our people and broader communities. We’re inspired by the incredible work being done by Afro-futurists and Indigenous-futurists in creating tangible and truly liberating futures for racialized people. Moving beyond reacting to the systems that oppress us and into future building for the world/s we want to manifest is work the universe urgently needs to hear\, from our voices and perspectives. \nWe believe that writing workshops by and for racialized people are a critical\, yet rare\, resource for building loving and resilient communities. \nWe are constantly reacting\, reaching outward\, giving what we can and trying to survive in a system that eats up our bodies\, our hearts\, our spirits. \nInstead\, let’s move beyond the reactionary. Let’s move into the imaginative\, the creative and the transformative. Together\, let’s dream up radical alternatives to white supremacy and systems of oppression. Let’s take time together to imagine new futures and better worlds. \n◆What are the futures we want\, need and breathe?\n◆What new worlds could we create beyond the limits of dominant science\, society and power structures?\n◆What would the world look like if we centered the knowledge systems from our own communities\, spiritualities\, and ancestries?\n◆What if liberation had already been achieved?\n◆What would this world\, where we have achieved liberation by and for our people\, look\, taste\, smell and feel like?\n◆What are the steps to getting us there? \n✰✰✰ \nWHO: \nYou are someone who: \n◆wants to reach into and beyond your imagination\n◆be part of a creative process that allows you to nurture your playfulness and be part of working to build radical alternatives for our futures\n◆may or may not identify as a writer but who likes to write\n◆wants to explore the connection between your mind\, heart\, body and spirit through writing and storytelling\n◆is willing to reach into the realms of intuition\, instinct and imagination to tap into visions of a liberatory world and/or worlds\n◆is committed to anti-oppression principles and understanding the lifelong journey of learning and unlearning\n◆is willing to take creative risks in a nurturing\, loving group environment \nWe are: \n◆Molly: Northern Coast Salish (Homalco/Klahoose)\, queer\, mixed\, urban indigenous\, spoken word poet\, facilitator and youth worker (more info coming)\n◆Amal: Pakistani\, brown mixie\, Muslim\, queer\, performance poet\, facilitator/educator (more info coming) \n✰✰✰ \nHOW: \nWorkshops will use a combination of:\n◆writing prompts and other methods of creative expression (visual\, oral and more)\n◆texts\, audio\, video\, other resources and inspiration\n◆interactive exercises\n◆group discussions and individual writing time\n◆optional sharing within a loving and reflective environment \n✰✰✰ \n“Once the imagination is unshackled\, liberation is limitless.” Walidah Imarisha \n✰✰✰ \nAPPLY/COST: \nIf you have read all of the above and are feeling encouraged\, we invite you to apply!\nYou can do so here: bit.ly/2iAY5iy \nThe deadline to apply is Friday\, February 10th\, (midnight pst). \nRegistration Fee: $300-$500 \nNote: We are doing this workshop without external funding. In order to allow us to do this sustainably\, as Indigenous and Muslim artists and independent educators/facilitators\, we have set a sliding scale registration fee of $300 – $500. \nWe also understand first hand the very limited resources available to Indigenous people\, Black people and people of colour. We do not want registation fees to be a barrier for the very people who need this workshop the most – our communities. \nWe are calling on our allies in the community to support this work by donating funds. There are 12 spots available for this workshop series\, open only to IBPOC. Our hope is that the registration fee for many of these spots can be covered by donations from allies. There is no guarantee of funds though we will do our best to fundraise. If\, as an applicant\, you are making a sustainable wage and/or are able to pay on a scale of $300-$500 for the registration fee\, we welcome that. If you are able to pay less than $300-$500\, we are looking to raise donations from allies to support your registration. There is also the possibility of paying in installments or other payment plans. The amount you are able to contribute will not effect your eligibility to participate in the workshop. Just gives us a clear picture of how much money we are looking to raise to support this initiative. If you have questions about this- please reach out! ibpocfutures@gmail.com \nLimited to 12 participants \n✰✰✰ \nACCESSIBILITY: \n-The space is one level and wheelchair/scooter accessible throughout\, including the entrance and the single stall\, gender neutral washroom.\n-Seating consists of two couches\, some desk chairs and regular un-cushioned chairs\, both with arms and without. There are also several large pillows and a lot of carpeted floor space for moving\, stretching\, etc.\n– We’ll strive together to create a scent reduced space. We are however not the only ones using the space. There are some scented materials used for cleaning. \n✰✰✰ \nQuestions?\nEmail: ibpocfutures@gmail.com \n✰✰✰ \nibpocfutures.tumblr.com

SUMMARY:National Day of Action on the Overdose Crisis
DESCRIPTION:These actions are being organized by people who use drugs\, drug user groups/unions\, harm reduction workers and allies. These voices have been excluded from the overdose response. \nVancouver’s national day of action event will begin at noon 12 pm in Oppenheimer Park on February 21st. \nFor more information or to start an action in your city contact admin@capud.ca \nCanada is in the midst of the worst overdose crisis in its history. Rather than take meaningful actions to prevent needless deaths and further harms to people who use drugs\, the government has instead pushed forward with its war on drugs and harmful policies. It’s time to demand better. On February 21 2017\, a first national day of action will be held across Canada to demand concrete actions to put an end to the war on drugs\, remove barriers to health care\, and implement policies that are informed by real life experiences of people who use drugs and providers. Stay tuned for more information. \n*** \nCes actions sont organisées par des personnes qui utilisent des drogues\, des groupes/syndicats de personnes qui utilisent des drogues\, des travailleurs en réduction des méfaits et des alliés. Ces voix sont souvent exclues de la réponse aux surdoses. \nPour plus d’information ou pour commencer une action dans votre ville\, contactez admin@capud.ca \nLa Canada fait face à la pire crise de surdoses de son histoire. Plutôt que de prendre des mesures significatives pour prévenir des morts inutiles et d’autres méfaits aux personnes utilisant des drogues\, le gouvernement est plutôt allé de l’avant avec sa guerre contre les drogues et ses politiques néfastes. Il est temps de faire mieux. Le 21 février 2017\, une première journée d’action aura lieu à travers le Canada pour demander des actions concrètes pour mettre fin à la guerre contre les drogues\, éliminer les barrières aux soins de santé\, et mettre en place des politiques qui correspondent aux expériences vécues des personnes qui utilisent des drogues et des gens sur le terrain. Restez à l’écoute pour plus d’information.
