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.

SUMMARY:We Call Them Intruders
DESCRIPTION:FRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 17\, 2017 \n4:45 pm: We Call Them Intruders www.wecallthemintruders.wordpress.com \nSpecial Guests and Keynote Speakers: Tamara Herman and Susi Porter-Bopp\, Co-directors\, We Call Them Intruders \n“This century’s global scramble for metals and minerals has led hundreds of Canadian mining corporations to Africa in search of the next big mine find. In Africa\, some of the world’s poorest communities sit right beside mines that generate billions of dollars in profit each year. Many of these mines are financed\, in part\, by ordinary people paying taxes\, putting away savings\, making RRSP contributions and paying into pension plans in Canada. But who gets rich off Canadian mines? We Call Them Intruders [takes viewers] on a journey to the sites of Canadian-owned mines in Tanzania and Zambia. Set against a backdrop of local sights and sounds\, we speak with government officials\, community members\, industry and corporate representatives\, mine workers\, independent experts\, and non-profit organizations. We find that the situation is more complicated than we first imagined.” This event is $5 and includes a panel discussion/Q&A.

SUMMARY:DTES Annual Women's Memorial March
DESCRIPTION:27th Annual Feb 14th Women’s Memorial March \nTuesday Feb 14th\, 2017\nFamily and community members gather in remembrance at 10:30 am ( *** please note earlier start time ***)\nMarch starts at noon from Carnegie (Main and Hastings) \nThe first women’s memorial march was held in 1991 in response to the murder of a Coast Salish woman on Powell Street in Vancouver. Her name is not spoken today out of respect for the wishes of her family. Out of this sense of hopelessness and anger came an annual march on Valentine’s Day to express compassion\, community\, and caring for all women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside\, Unceded Coast Salish Territories. \nTwenty seven years later\, the women’s memorial march continues to honour the lives of missing and murdered women and all women’s lives lost in the Downtown Eastside. Increasing deaths of many vulnerable women from the DTES still leaves family\, friends\, loved ones\, and community members with an overwhelming sense of grief and loss. Indigenous women disproportionately continue to go missing or be murdered with minimal to no action to address these tragedies or the systemic nature of gendered violence\, poverty\, racism\, or colonialism. \nOn Tuesday Feb 14th 2017\, we will gather at 10:30 am at the Carnegie Community Centre Theatre\, 401 Main Street (corner Hastings\, Vancouver) where family members speak in remembrance. Given space constraints\, we ask the broader public to join us at noon\, when the march takes to the streets and proceeds through the Downtown Eastside\, with stops to commemorate where women were last seen or found; speeches by community activists at Main and Hastings; a healing circle at Oppenheimer Park around 2:30 pm; and finally a community feast at the Japanese Language Hall. \nWe continue to call for a national inquiry that is led by family and community members and that centers our experiences\, need for healing\, and quest for answers\, concrete action\, and meaningful justice. \nThis event is organized and led by women in the DTES because women – especially Indigenous women – face physical\, mental\, emotional\, and spiritual violence on a daily basis. The February 14th Women’s Memorial March is an opportunity to come together to grieve the loss of our beloved sisters\, remember the women who are still missing\, and to dedicate ourselves to justice. \n* SUPPORT THE WOMEN’S MEMORIAL MARCH \nThere are many ways to support the Feb 14th Women’s Memorial March: \n1) ATTEND: Spread the word and join us (all genders welcome) to the Feb 14th march. We respectfully ask that you please do not bring your agency or group banners\, flags\, or leaflets as the Women’s Memorial March carries five banners only to honour the women. Sign honouring womens lives are welcome. \n2) PLAN: Plan a memorial march in your community. Last year\, memorial marches were held in approximately twenty other cities and communities. Please email us the details at hwalia8@gmail.com so we can maintain communication\, compile the information on our website\, and build strength in our coordinated efforts. \n3) DONATE: Please donate. The February 14th Women’s Memorial March is made possible by organizations and individuals like you. Please make cheques payable to the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre\, and include Feb 14th Women’s Memorial March on the memo line. Mail cheques to the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre\, 302 Columbia St. Vancouver\, BC V6A 4J1. All donations over $10 will be gratefully acknowledged with a tax deductible receipt. \nThank you all for your support and commitment\,\nFeb 14th Women’s Memorial March Committee \nWebsite: https://womensmemorialmarch.wordpress.com/\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/womensmemorialmarch/

SUMMARY:You Belong Here
DESCRIPTION:On January 29\, 2017\, a man walked into a mosque in Quebec City and killed six people. This horrifying act happened at a time when we are witnessing anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies from the President of the United States. There is also a small but vocal minority of Canadians arguing that some people are more Canadian than others. We believe that we are at a point in history when those of us who think that our country is better because of diversity need to stand up and be heard. We also want to support our Muslim neighbours during these frightening times\, because they are valuable members of our Chilliwack community. \nThe Canadian Human Rights Act guarantees freedom from discrimination based on race\, national or ethnic origin\, colour\, religion\, age\, gender\, sexual orientation\, marital status\, family status and disability. By living in Canada\, we all agree to accept these principles\, and it is this inclusiveness that makes us Canadian. Beyond that\, the fact that we have different colours of skin\, practice different religions (or no religion) or create different family arrangements is not something to be feared but to be celebrated. There is no archetypal Canadian\, and every person who lives here can say to every other person\, “You belong here.” \nJoin us on Sunday\, February 12 at 2:30 p.m. outside the Chilliwack Museum for a gathering to support our neighbours and celebrate diversity in Chilliwack. We encourage you to bring signs with the “You Belong Here” message. Here is a link to the official logo\, which you are free to print out and use:\nColour: bit.ly/2khz6oz\nBlack and white: https://goo.gl/95Ff2z \nAlthough it is supposed to warm up to 8 degrees by the weekend\, we think people will be more comfortable listening to our list of speakers indoors. Therefore\, after a brief introductory message\, we will walk over to the Vineyard Community Centre at 45892 Wellington Ave. There\, the list of speakers will be as follows: \nEddie Gardner\, Sto:lo Nation\nWillow Reichelt\, You Belong Here Organizing Committee\nDr. Osama Ebesh and Faizal Kadir\, Chilliwack Islamic Centre\nVern and Susan Tompke\, Vineyard Community Church\nJason Lum\, City Council \nAfter the speakers\, everyone is invited to enjoy a hot beverage and spend time introducing yourself to your neighbours. \nWe want to create a slideshow video that includes Chilliwack residents from as many demographics as possible holding You Belong Here signs. We will have a photo booth for this purpose set up at the event\, and you can also post photos to the event page. You may also want to take a group photo to show your family or organization’s support for this project. \nPlease share this event and encourage others to attend. \nWe look forward to seeing you on Sunday!

SUMMARY:We Stand with Standing Rock! Emergency IntersAction!
DESCRIPTION:WE STAND WITH STANDING ROCK! Emergency IntersACTION \nAs we continue to organize against Trudeau’s approval of the Kinder Morgan pipeline\, we also need to respond to an urgent call to action from those on the frontlines in Standing Rock fighting against the Dakota Access pipeline. \nTrump has already called for the pipeline to be built\, and there are significant efforts underway to force the granting of the final easement to allow the pipeline drilling to be completed without an Environmental Impact Statement. \nPolice also continue to harass and attack water protectors\, with over 70 recently arrested and charged with “rioting” and other offences for setting up another camp to oppose the pipeline. \nThere has been a call for solidarity actions\, which Climate Convergence is responding to by organizing an Emergency IntersAction at Georgia and Howe in downtown Vancouver. This is a very visible intersection where the main Vancouver branch of the TD Bank is located – one of the major investors in the Dakota Access pipeline. \nWe ask everyone to join us in standing in solidarity with indigenous nations asserting their right to self-determination and defending everyone from these unnecessary and dangerous projects which are literally destroying the planet. \nWe Stand with Standing Rock!\nMni Wiconi – Water is Sacred!\nNo Pipelines on Stolen Native Lands!\nNo to Dakota Access\, Kinder Morgan\, Line 3 and Keystone XL Pipelines! \nWe acknowledge we are on the traditional\, unceded\, occupied territories of the Coast Sallish peoples: the mi ce:p kʷətxʷiləm (Tsleil-Waututh)\, Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish)\, and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. \nWhat is an IntersAction?\nIt’s an action where we flood an intersection on all sides with people crossing (on the light) with signs and banners without stopping the flow of traffic. This way we can be seen by and engage with the most people.

SUMMARY:The Great Dictator (USA\, 1940)
DESCRIPTION:As World War II raged on in Europe\, many in the U.S. still refused to take Hitler’s rise seriously. Charles Chaplin was among those who did. Chaplin takes on the dual role of dictator Adenoid Hynkel and a poor\, Jewish barber who wants to see an end to bigotry and hatred. While Chaplin deftly ridiculed his contemporaries with all his characteristic wit as a mime\, for this film he finally broke his silence with a monologue that decades later has not lost its urgency. \nEpisode 3 of Cop Rock begins at 7 p.m.\nThe Great Dictator begins at 8 p.m.

SUMMARY:Fixed Term Lease Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Landlords throughout Metro Vancouver are increasingly exploiting a loophole in the Residential Tenancy Act by getting tenants to unknowingly sign Fixed Term Tenancy Leases\, making it easier for them to evict tenants without proper due process and raise the rents above the yearly maximum. A sharp rent increase or eviction has devastating effects for all of us\, but especially severe impacts on low-income folks who as a result may become homeless. We must join in solidarity and fight for tenant rights! \nThe DTES SRO Collaborative and The Carnegie Community Action Project invite you to join us and fight back! \nWhere: Carnegie Community Centre Theatre \nWhen: Wednesday\, February 8th @ 6:30 PM \nWhat: \nLearn your rights! \nLearn what you are signing in a lease agreement! \nLearn how to respond to an expolitative landlord and seek justice! \nHelp us lobby to close the Fixed Term Tenancy loophole in the RTA! \nCoffee and Snacks will be provided\nWheelchair Accessible\nASL (pending)

SUMMARY:Vancouver Housing Crisis Roundtable (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:We acknowledge that this event is taking place on the ancestral\, traditional\, unceded and occupied Indigenous territories of the Coast Salish Peoples\, and in particular\, the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) peoples. The xʷməθkʷəy̓əm territory on which UBC Point Grey campus is located is unceded\, that is\, it was never surrendered\, relinquished\, or handed over by xʷməθkʷəy̓əm to Canada or British Columbia through a treaty or other means; it is sovereign and unsurendered. \n“Vancouver Housing Crisis: Voices from the Community” is the third event in a series of roundtables on the “Face of Modern Capitalism” that will be happening this year. The purpose of this roundtable is to gain a greater understanding for how issues of capitalism (housing unaffordability\, gentrification and displacement\, real estate development\, neoliberalism\, globalization)\, racism (growing anti-Chinese\, anti-immigration sentiments\, racial scapegoating\, gentrification of Chinatown)\, and settler colonialism (living on the unceded Indigenous territories\, land dispossession\, gentrification of DTES and displacement of Indigenous peoples) interact and overlap with one another in the context of Vancouver’s housing crisis. \nTo RSVP\, please sign up here (event is free and open to the general public): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vancouver-housing-crisis-roundtable-part-2-tickets-31477607371 \nPanelists:\n1) Natalie Knight (Alliance Against Displacement)\n2) Sophie Fung (Chinatown Action Group)\n3) Cicely-Belle Blain (Black Lives Matter and Qmunity)\n4) Audrey Siegl (Musqueam First Nation)\n5) David Eby (NDP MLA)\n6) Wilson Munoz (Coalition of Progressive Electors) \nQuestions:\n1) What are the underlying causes of the housing crisis in Vancouver? What kind of role do global flows of capital play? What are the short-term and long-term consequences? Who gets affected the most by growing unaffordability? How does Canada’s history as a settler colonial white capitalist nation shape conversations about Vancouver housing crisis and specifically foreign investment debate? \n2) How do anti-Asian racism and Canadian whiteness play out in conversations about “wealthy Chinese immigrants”? What can we learn from the foreign investment debate about whose bodies are welcome in Canada? What is the history of Asian immigration to BC? How have the crisis and the surrounding discourses affected Chinese-Canadians and other migrant communities in Vancouver? What are the effects and consequences of development and gentrification in Chinatown? \n3) How can we discuss housing affordability issues while living on the unceded Coast Salish territories? How has the housing crisis affected Indigenous people in Vancouver? Do the public discourses about the housing crisis undermine and ignore Indigenous rights and titles to the unceded territories? Are Indigenous people being displaced from the city once again? How can we decolonize housing affordability issues in Vancouver? \n4) Should affordable housing be a human right? If so\, whose responsibility is it to provide affordable housing? What should the role of government be concerning the growing economic polarisation? What needs to be done to create affordable housing for residents? How have your communities been dealing with the growing unaffordability? What are your community’s housing needs and how can they be addressed? \nFormat: The discussion will be facilitated by Mark Harris (UBC GRSJ) who will be asking the panel open-ended questions (listed above) and allowing panelists to answer individually\, as well as to comment on each other’s answers. In the end\, we will leave some time for questions from the audience. Light refreshments will be provided at the event. \nLocation: UBC Vancouver\, Henry Angus building\, room 968 \nOrganizers: This event is organized with the support of UBC Social Justice Centre and Dr. David Silver. \n“Vancouver Housing Crisis (Part 1)” happened on November 23\, 2016 and has focused on the voices of academics.

SUMMARY:Have some beans and raise a stink about welfare rates!
DESCRIPTION:Have some beans and raise a stink about welfare rates! \nWhat: Picket Christy Clark’s $1000 a plate dinner\nWhen: 5pm\, Tuesday\, February 7th at 1015 Burrard St. \nTravel and Signmaking: You can also meet us at 3.30pm at the CCAP office (on second floor of Carnegie). We will bus together to 1015 Burrard St. at 4.15pm sharp. \nThe Liberals don’t care about people on welfare. The BC government provides $610 a month in welfare to a single person\, without a recognized disability\, who is expected to look for work. It has been at this level since April 2007\, when they raised the shelter component of welfare by $50 for singles. This means that once rent and other essentials are paid for\, a person on welfare has $76 left to spend on food for a whole month and only $18 (at most) to spend on food each week. \nCome protest the abysmally low welfare rates in BC at a Christy Clark VIP fundraising event at the Burrard St. Steakhouse on February 7th. You can go as a VIP if you have $1000 or you can be a mere non VIP and just pay $300. CCAP and Raise the Rates will picket the event and serve beans outside\, the only food people on welfare can afford.
