THE TABLE IN THE LOBBY SAYS IT ALL. The tenants in this building look out for each other. Just as the SRO Collaborative worked to be sure they could.

ACORN CANADA WAS AT IT AGAIN MAY 4: practicing people power. Supporters turned out to picket at 30 MPs’ offices in 13 cities from Halifax to Vancouver. The groups were small, just seven in Montreal, four in Halifax, less in other places. The actions had no immediate impact. But the longterm impact is how revolutions get made.

WE CAN’T LET THE LAW FRIGHTEN US OFF. Irina Ceric never has. Nor have any of the other lawyers who work with her in the Movement Defense Committee in Toronto. In fact, the collective lawyers find ways to use the law to give legal support to activists charged with being lawbreakers.

C.L.R. JAMES WAS RIGHT ABOUT SOCIALISM. It’s everywhere. We just don’t recognize it. This is no surprise. We are taught not to recognize it or believe in it. But it’s still there.

HEALTH CARE WORKERS WANT REAL RESPECT. The kind that goes beyond words. The kind that comes with better COVID protections at work and pay that matches the risks they take to keep going in to work at all.

THE HEAVY HAND OF GOVERNMENT DIDN’T WORK. Developers will not get to build a monster warehouse on protected wetlands in Pickering, Ontario. Citizen activism won’t allow it.

TALKING BACK TO THE BOSS HELPS EVERYBODY. Jim Stanford and Daniel Poon have the arguments to prove it.
