SUMMARY:Talk by Ian Angus: "The War Against the Commons"
DESCRIPTION:Ian Angus is a socialist and ecosocialist activist in Canada. He is the editor of the ecosocialist journal Climate and Capitalism. He will present his latest book\, The War Against the Commons. “Mass opposition to dispossession has never ceased. This dramatic account provides new insights into an opposition that ranged from stubborn non-compliance to open rebellion\, including eyewitness accounts of campaigns in which thousands of protestors tore down fences and restored common access to pastures and forests.”\nThe presentation will be in English and in person.\n\n///\n\nIan Angus est un militant socialiste et écosocialiste canadien. Il est rédacteur en chef de la revue écosocialiste Climate and Capitalism. Il présentera son dernier ouvrage\, The War Against the Commons. « L’opposition massive à la dépossession n’a jamais cessé. Ce récit dramatique apporte un éclairage nouveau sur une opposition qui allait de la désobéissance civile obstinée à la rébellion ouverte\, et comprend des témoignages oculaires de campagnes au cours desquelles des milliers de manifestants ont démoli des clôtures et rétabli l’accès commun aux pâturages et aux forêts. »\nLa présentation se fera en anglais et en personne.

SUMMARY:The Feminist Festival Against Fascism
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an evening celebration of International Women’s Day 2026\, jointly hosted by the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women (OCTEVAW) and the Archives and Special Collections (ARCS) at the University of Ottawa. \nRegistration is required. \nInspired by the 1981 “Community Festival Against the Klan” organized by the Riverdale Action Committee Against Racism (RACAR)\, this collaborative event is an opportunity to commemorate the accomplishments of local organizers and to learn about histories of community resistance to violence against women\, fascism\, and white supremacy in Canada. In 1981\, the presence of a new Klu Klux Klan chapter in East Toronto galvanized neighbours to mobilize in solidarity against racial terror. RACAR’s “Festival Against the Klan” included political speeches\, performances\, educational workshops\, and a march against the KKK. \n“Feminist Festival Against Fascism” will include an opening ceremony\, a recognition ceremony honouring three key areas of feminist leadership in Ottawa (Advocate\, Rabble Rouser\, and Visionary)\, light entertainment\, and a lively game of Feminist Trivia (not to mention prizes and free snacks!) In the ARCS reading room\, attendees will have a chance to view this year’s public history exhibit\, The Feminist Economy: Women’s Perspectives on Trade and Labour. \nLike RACAR and other 1980s groups such as Gays and Lesbians Against the Right Everywhere (GLARE)\, Lesbians Against the Right\, and the International Women’s Day Committee\, we insist on celebrating our shared struggle while militantly opposing gender-based violence\, racial hatred\, attacks against the LGBTQ+ community\, and authoritarianism in all its forms. Whether you’re a protestor\, an activist\, a service provider\, worker\, scholar\, artist\, or community member wishing to unite against oppressive forces\, you too are a part of the collective history preserved and documented here at ARCS. \nWe can’t wait to see you there! \n**** Please note that this event will be held in English. Veuillez noter que cet événement se déroulera en anglais.
