From Scapegoating to Solidarity: Countering Hate By Building Worker Pow


Join the Toronto & York Region Labour Council, the Urban Alliance on Race Relations, Community Solidarity Toronto, and allies from Toronto City Council and community in an important discussion to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.


Following years of rising racist, xenophobic, and hateful sentiments and movements in Canada and the world over, this year's IDERD will focus on unifying working people of all backgrounds around a common platform which builds worker power and rejects hate.


The event will begin with a panel of experts from the labour movement, community, and Toronto City Council and will focus on lessons we can draw on from past and current struggles. We will then move into an open discussion focused on creating the basis for a fighting coalition.


Free parking in rear. Light refreshments will be served.
