SUMMARY:Freedom to Read 2024: Discussion with Author Lawrence Hill
DESCRIPTION:Freedom to Read Week is an annual event\, taking place February 18-24\, 2024. This week provides Canadians with the opportunity to discuss book challenges\, censorship\, representation in literature\, intellectual freedom\, access to information and the literary community’s and library’s role. It serves as an opportunity to reaffirm Canadians commitment to intellectual freedom and the fight for on-going access for all against all threats to that access either through book challenges\, the digital divide or otherwise. \nThe Ottawa Public Library’s (OPL) Mission is to inspire learning\, spark curiosity\, and connect people; our core values are Community\, Inclusion\, Integrity\, Intellectual Freedom\, and Literacy. This is why it is important to us to participate in Freedom to Read Week. OPL takes a stance against limitations of lawful freedom of expression\, including freedom to read. \nLawrence Hill will discuss his lifelong literary passion for dramatizing neglected corners of Black history in Canada. He will explore the challenges of censorship that he and other writers have faced\, and share thoughts about the title change of The Book of Negroes in the United States as well as the burning of images of The Book of Negroes in the Netherlands. He will discuss how increasing opposition to use of the N-word in literature affects Black writers and all readers. \nMeet and Greet with Lawrence! \nTime: 6:00-6:45pm \nBook signing and meet and greet \nTime: 8:15-9 pm \nThis is a hybrid event: the program is in-person\, but we will also stream live on OPL’s YouTube page. \nRegistration is for the in-person portion of the event. \nLAWRENCE HILL is the author of eleven books of fiction and nonfiction\, including the internationally bestselling The Book of Negroes and The Illegal. His latest novel is Beatrice and Croc Harry. He has received the Commonwealth Writer’s Prize\, Canada Reads (twice)\, a Canadian Screen Award\, ten honorary doctorates and is a member of the Order of Canada. \nHill has volunteered with Crossroads International\, The Black Loyalist Heritage Society\, The Ontario Black History Society\, and in federal penitentiaries. Hill is writing a novel about the African-American soldiers who built the Alaska Highway in British Columbia and Yukon during World War Two.

SUMMARY:Reasonable Cause to Suspect: Book Launch and Discussion on a Hidden Human Rights Case
DESCRIPTION:A Book Launch and Discussion on the obstacles preventing the repatriation from Northeast Syria of over two dozen arbitrarily detained Canadian Muslim men\, women\, and children.\n\nWith:\n\nSally Lane\, whose son Jack Letts has been wrongfully defamed by an inflammatory UK media and illegally held almost 7 years under conditions the UN calls “akin to torture”\nMonia Mazigh is the author of Hope and Despair: My Struggle to Free My Husband Maher Arar\, Mirrors and Mirages\, Hope Has Two Daughters\, Farida\, and Gendered Islamophobia.\nAlex Neve\, a Senior Fellow\, University of Ottawa’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs. Member of NE Syria August 2023 Delegation\nMatthew Behrens of Stop Canadian Involvement in Torture\, who has worked closely with the targets of Canadian and U.S. “national security” repression for over 25 years.\n\nPresented by Justice and Equality Action Group\, First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa and Stop Canadian Involvement in Torture\, with support of Octopus Books\, who will be selling books on site.\n\nBackground\nGuantanamo in the Desert – where 50\,000 Muslims are off-shored in NE Syria\, beyond reach of law & rights\, respect & dignity. Over two dozen Muslim Canadians – men\, women & kids – are illegally detained there under conditions the UN calls akin to torture because Ottawa either refuses to repatriate them or has offered to repatriate children only if they are forcibly separated from their mothers. There is no clean water\, nutritious food or proper medical care. The men’s prison cells are packed with bone-thin prisoners\, many with amputated limbs.\n\nIn January\, 2023\, a Federal Court judge called on Ottawa to repatriate them\, noting: “Canadians are dying or at risk of dying every day this matter is adjourned.” Over one year later\, Canada still refuses\, going all the way to the Supreme Court to block their return\, thereby participating in the illegal practice of forced exile.

SUMMARY:Nonviolent Direct Action\, Creative Protest and Planning Effective Campaigns Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Space is limited\, so register by sending an email to tasc@web.ca \nWe will send location details (we will be in an accessible space) after you have registered. Please let us know specific issues you would like to have covered in the workshop. We’ll send some video clips to help get you prepared for the day. \nWe request that participants be masked to protect yourselves amidst the high rates of respiratory viruses and in support of those immunocompromised members of the community who otherwise cannot attend such indoor gatherings. HEPA filters will be running throughout the day. \nPresented by Homes not Bombs and the Peace and Social Concerns Committee of Ottawa Quakers \nWHY THIS WORKSHOP?\nProtests are common in Ottawa – Gaza\, climate catastrophe\, anti-racism\, solidarity with LGBTQ2+\, anti-poverty – and while many of us are comfortable showing up as long as someone else is organizing them\, we tend to forget that there is an artistry and skills set to them\, especially those that may involve some level of confrontation or that turn out unexpectedly. Having those skills to fall back on can ensure your safety and keeping the message focused.\nJust as we wouldn’t send someone into surgery without training\, having training for political protests and nonviolent direct actions is critical to protect you\, your message\, and your community. The workshop will include discussion\, role plays to prepare you for real-life situations\, video samples\, laughter and\, importantly\, joy\, because to come together to say “NO” to the injustices of the world is an opportunity for us to live in the best of ourselves. \nThis in-depth interactive workshop\, facilitated by a Homes not Bombs trainer with decades of experience conducting trainings in schools\, prisons\, faith groups\, anti-globalization convergences\, and other venues\, will provide you with the knowledge\, skills\, and legal/political/theatrical literacy you need to carry out successful\, creative nonviolent direct actions that go beyond the “Demonstrations 101″ box.

SUMMARY:Bring Them Home: Free the Canadian Muslim Men\, Women and Kids Illegally Detained in NE Syria
DESCRIPTION:Join a Valentine’s Day Vigil at Global Affairs Canada (125 Sussex Ave.) to free two dozen Canadian Muslim men\, women and children are illegally detained under conditions akin to torture in “Guantanamo in the Desert\,” a vast sandscape of arbitrary detention camps and prisons holding over 50\,000 detainees\, over half of them children.\nWhile Canada has brought home several dozen of the detainees only after public pressure and court action\, it has refused to bring the remainder home. Canada has also tried to forcibly separate Canadian children from their non-Canadian born mothers.\n\nThe Autonomous Administration of Northeast Syria (AANES)\, which holds the detainees\, has begged the international community to repatriate their citizens and empty these camps and prisons. While much smaller and less resourced countries than Canada have taken back their citizens (and Canada itself funds the repatriation of Iraqis) it has spent years in court trying to prevent the final return of the remaining two dozen Canadians.\n\nOne of the detainees is Jack Letts. As an idealistic and compassionate 18-year-old\, Jack traveled to Syria to assist victims of the Assad regime’s brutal war against its own people\, and was caught up in the chaos that followed. He condemned ISIS in messaging from within the IS ‘state’\, was prosecuted for opposing their teachings\, and after risking his life to escape\, has been held almost 7 years in brutal conditions.\n\nJack has not been charged with any crime\, and no evidence has been presented that he did anything wrong. In January 2023\, the Federal Court of Canada concluded neither he nor the other men seeking repatriation had been involved in violence or illegal acts. If they were\, then they would no doubt be happy to face a fair\, transparent\, open opportunity to face any allegations in court.\n\nIn fact he has been victimized by the wrongs of others: a victim of a libelous press\, slanderous politicians and an Islamophobic political climate under which horrific yet baseless allegations have been thrown against him with no meaningful and safe opportunity to respond; a victim of a cowardly UK government that illegally stripped him of his citizenship\, and of a Canadian government that promised to bring him home and has subsequently spent years refusing to do so; a victim of arbitrary detention and conditions tantamount to torture; a victim of extended periods of solitary confinement; a victim of a world that headlines hate and profits from dehumanization.\nArbitrary Detention is a crime. Complicity in torture is a crime. Canada must end its involvement in these crimes by bringing everyone home.\n\nWHY VALENTINE’S DAY?\nBefore flower sellers and Hallmark Cards discovered it\, St. Valentine’s Day was a time to remember all those unjustly persecuted and jailed. St. Valentine was a priest who was persecuted\, tortured\, jailed and decapitated by Roman Emperor Claudius because Valentine defied the prohibition on conducting marriages for young people. Claudius was concerned that married men would be less willing to give their lives in battle. Valentine’s last note from prison\, “from your Valentine\,” eventually became the basis for Valentine greetings.

ISRAELISM uniquely explores how Jewish attitudes towards Israel are changing dramatically\, with massive consequences for the region and for Judaism itself. www.israelismfilm.com \nWe hope to see you there! \nIJV Ottawa

SUMMARY:Moving from Despair to Community: Early Childhood Educators and Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 18th\n7:30pm – 8:30pm EST\nRegister on Zoom \nWe\, the Early Years Liberation Collective\, are offering a safe space for the early years\ncommunity to be in solidarity for a Free Palestine. \nWe are a group of educators\, advocates\, activists\, and creators who are all part of the early\nyears community. Our work is grounded in our values as early childhood educators\, joining in\nthe struggle against inequity\, powerlessness\, and oppression. Our goal is to create life-affirming\nconditions within our communities and our global world\, through collective action and education.\nDescription: \nIn the face of the unyielding genocide of Palestinians\, our commitment to a free Palestine\nremains unwavering. \nWe have seen an entire climate emerge to silence pro-Palestine activism. This is not a new\noccurrence\, but has been getting stronger and increasingly visible. From the criminalization of\nresistance and peaceful demonstration\, the implementation of shadow bans on social media\,\npeople being put on lists for speaking out\, the strain on relationships\, to the silence in\nclassrooms\, playrooms\, and at dinner tables. The suppression of solidarity and the risks we\nencounter are undeniably real. Amidst these risks\, we find ways to resist\, care\, gather in\ncommunity\, learn and unlearn\, take collective action\, and speak the truth to reclaim power\, while\nholding an ethic of care\, equity\, and justice in our practice. \nAs witnesses to the genocide in Palestine\, which has been visible on social media for many\nmonths\, it may be possible that feelings of hopelessness and despair contribute to a decrease\nin motivation to advocate for positive change and the feeling that what we are doing might not\nbe making a difference. \nThrough this session\, we want to convey the importance of ongoing engagement with advocacy\nfor a free Palestine\, and emphasize that this must be a collective effort to stand against\noppression and injustice. We will offer some ideas for action to advocate for a free Palestine\,\nand encourage participants to imagine their own advocacy actions. Our intention is that\nparticipants leave the session with a greater sense of community\, a curiosity to seek further\nknowledge\, and the motivation to continue supporting Palestinian liberation. \nThis session will address ways that our ECE values\, which regard all children as precious\, can\nserve as instruments of change\, while providing a different narrative that challenges the\ncommon messaging and misinformation about Palestine. \nWe invite you to join us to learn together and gather in community on January 18th from 7:30 –\n8:30 pm. EST on Zoom. Register here!

SUMMARY:Queer Death Salon – Grieving Genocide
DESCRIPTION:Queer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death\, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in virtual discussion space\, with the purpose of building connection\, skill\, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people navigating end of life in our personal lives and in our communities. \nIn December\, our discussion topic is once again Grieving Genocide. \nThere are currently multiple active and ongoing genocides happining around the world\, and many of us have been awoken to that reality by the heart-wrenching first-hand accounts being shared by Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank\, under ongoing “Israeli” occupation. \nThis session is for 2SLGBTQIA+ people who are impacted by all forms of grief for these mass deaths. \nSome questions to consider: \nHow easy or difficult is it for me to connect to my grief?\nHow are the people around me showing up to this moment?\nHow is my grief (in)validated by the media and my communities?\nWhat avenues are available for me to express my grief?\nHow am I supported in my grief?\nDo I have strategies for catalizing grief into action? \nParticipants are invited to bring related questions and stories of their own.
