SUMMARY:Fierte dans la Capitale Pride 2024
DESCRIPTION:Listen. Learn. Act.  \nCapital Pride’s Four foundational pillars are to Educate\, Advocate\, Celebrate and Connect. For our 2024 festival\, we have decided to highlight our pillar of advocacy\, focusing on listening\, learning\, and taking action. \nListen – To listen is to recognize the importance of acknowledging the diverse experiences within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community\, thus fostering understanding and empathy. This inclusive approach acknowledges intersecting identities and unique challenges\, enhancing solidarity and effective advocacy. \nLearn – to learn is to acknowledge the invaluable contributions and sacrifices of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community\, whose resilience and activism have driven progress. Honoring this legacy preserves our history\, offers inspiration\, and highlights the ongoing struggle for equality and justice. \nAct – to act is to bring attention to the ongoing fight for equality\, justice\, and inclusion by amplifying marginalized voices and advocating for their rights. It encourages active participation in advocacy to create a more equitable society where everyone can live authentically and without fear of discrimination. \nUltimately\, “Listen. Learn. Act.” serves as a call to action for all individuals to actively engage with the past\, listen to the voices of those who have been marginalized\, and work together towards a brighter and more inclusive future. It embodies the spirit of resilience\, activism\, and hope that defines the 2SLGBTQIA+ community’s journey towards liberation and collective empowerment.

SUMMARY:Prisoners’ Justice Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Location: Room 215D\, Jock Turcotte University Centre\, 85 University Private (University of Ottawa)\, Ottawa \n\nThis year CPEP\, the Millhaven Lifers’ Liaison Group\, Mothers Offering Mutual Support\, and OPIRG/GRIPO have come together to commemorate Prisoners’ Justice Day (PJD) with a teach-in about its history\, how it has evolved\, and how the demands could be met today.\nWe invite all members of the Ottawa communities to come and talk\, share stories\, experiences\, and learn from each other.PJD has always been a day of mourning and somber reflection for some\, and a day of action and inspiration for others. It is in this spirit that we invite everyone to come together with us\, on this particular day.\nBackground:On August 10th\, 1974\, Eddie Nalon\, a prisoner and advocate\, died in the segregation unit at the Millhaven Institution (a maximum security prison built in 1971 just outside of Kingston\, Ontario). His death sparked outrage among the prisoners at the penitentiary\, as well as hunger strikes\, and prison reform initiatives. On the one year anniversary of his death\, the first Prisoners’ Justice Day was organized\, sparking what has become an international day of condemnation and commemoration of deaths in custody and segregation\, as well as national campaigns for prisoners’ rights across prisons. Many people around the world have been inspired by the political action of these prisoners and organized for a better world.\nOn August 10\, 2024\, we plan to commemorate and reinvigorate the struggle for prisoners’ rights inside and outside prisons\, by talking about the history of PJD and what it meant for people then\, how it has evolved over the years\, what it means for people now\, and what we want it to be moving forward. We also hope that this event can also serve as the first planning meeting for the 50th anniversary of PJD in 2025. If you are someone who thinks deeply about the carceral/police state\, or are interested in how to get involved and explore alternatives to caging humans\, we invite you to join us for a thoughtful discussion amongst community members.\nWe gratefully acknowledge that this event is happening on the unceded and unsurrendered land of the Anishinaabe and Algonquin people. We also acknowledge the overrepresentation of Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island in the criminal justice system. This system also disproprotionately affects many marginalized individuals and negatively impacts all communities.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Crossdresser // Accept Yourself Or Die
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of a double volume\, two books in one\, both by trans Ottawa-based writers! \nAbout the book: \nImogen Reid’s Accept Yourself Or Die: From Mormon Missionary to Trans Punk travels from small-town Northern Ontario\, to the Missionary Training Centre in Provo\, Utah\, to basement shows in Ottawa. It’s a story about staying stubbornly human in a world that wants to destroy you\, and also about how weird it is going door-to-door trying to convert people to Mormonism. \nCrossdresser: Growing Up Trans in the 1990s and 2000s\, by Kat Rogue\, explores what it does to a closeted trans girl to grow up saturated in the transmisogyny of 1990s pop culture and to come of age online\, and how she managed to build her own relationship to femininity despite that. It argues that crossdressing\, femme\, and transness are more closely linked than some people think\, and that Ace Ventura: Pet Detective really could have been great without all the transmisogyny. \nThe books are published by Sheer Spite Press back-to-back for a double gut-punch of heartfelt\, angry\, and funny reflections on transfemme coming of age. \nCopies of the book will be for sale\, but the event is free to attend. \nMasks are required and will be provided if you need one! \nThe front door has a portable ramp (29″ wide). Once inside\, the warehouse is a single level with concrete floors. The washroom door is 30.5″ wide\, There is a support rail next to the toilet\, and a wall-hung sink with space under it.

SUMMARY:Nothing to Celebrate: Canada’s role as a settler colonial state from Turtle Island to Palestine
DESCRIPTION:To mark Indigenous Peoples Month\, join CAPE for Palestine for a webinar on connections between settler colonialism on Turtle Island and the occupation of Palestine. Every July 1st\, Canadians are told we should celebrate living in so-called Canada. But what is there to celebrate when we see Canadian officials continue to support a genocide? There is no cause for celebration. Nor has there been for years\, as Indigenous leaders have highlighted Canada’s active and ongoing role in genocide against Indigenous peoples.CAPE 4 Palestine recognizes that as public servants\, we have a distinct responsibility to hold our employer\, the Government of Canada\, to account and to understand how settler colonialism operates across borders. We must stand in solidarity with Indigenous peoples in so-called Canada and Palestinians fighting for liberation and freedom.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Israelism
DESCRIPTION:Join First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa for a screening of the 2023 documentary Israelism. The film follows the changing perspectives of Simone Zimmerman\, co-founder of If Not Now and Eitan\, a former IDF soldier\, exemplifying sweeping grassroots changes among young Jews in response to Israel’s brutal treatment of Palestinian people. ​The screening will be followed by a panel discussion led by Professor Mira Sucharov. \nTuesday\, June 25 – 6:30pm\nFellowship Hall\, First Unitarian\n30 Cleary Ave\, Ottawa \n“Two young American Jews – Simone and Eitan – are raised to defend the state of Israel at all costs. Eitan joins the Israeli military. Simone supports Israel on ‘the other battlefield:’ America’s college campuses. When they witness Israel’s mistreatment of the Palestinian people with their own eyes\, they are horrified and heartbroken. They join the movement of young American Jews battling the old guard over Israel’s centrality in American Judaism\, and demanding freedom for the Palestinian people. Their stories reveal a generational divide in the North American Jewish community as more young Jews question the narratives they were raised on.”

Tag us on social media too\, we’d love to see the hard work of our local young artists!\nAbout Kidical Mass\nKidical Mass is an international movement inspired by ‘critical mass’ events held to emphasize the number of people who want to ride bikes and to call for infrastructure improvements. Kidical Mass expands on that idea with a focus on children and families. These events celebrate the joy of biking asking cities to make streets safe for kids and therefore safe for everyone. We believe children should be able to safely and independently travel to school\, parks\, sports\, and other destinations. With climate change already impacting the lives of children\, safe streets for kids also means seriously addressing the climate emergency. There are measures – both big and small – that cities like Ottawa can pursue to make this possible.\nWhat makes streets safer for kids?– A true Vision Zero strategy that focuses on proactive design action to eliminate road deaths and serious injuries. A key tenet of Vision Zero is that street design can ensure that when mistakes happen they don’t cause life-changing impacts.– Separated and wide bike lanes that provide access to children’s destinations like schools\, libraries\, parks\, and community centres– Traffic calming features and reduced speed limits on arterials and residential streets– Car-free streets including parkways and school streets– Elimination of right-turns on red lights-Streets that address climate change by reducing private vehicle use– Vehicle size regulations and safety testing that includes the safety of people outside of the vehicle\nAbout the Event Hosts\nBike Ottawa is a not-for-profit volunteer-based advocacy group. We believe riding a bike in Ottawa should be a fun\, safe\, and easy choice for all ages and abilities. We are committed to advocating for a vibrant and equitable Ottawa where active transportation plays an important role in year-round mobility.\nFor Our Kids Ottawa Gatineau is a community of parents\, grandparents and families who are concerned about climate change. We organize family-friendly activism and information activities and provide a space to connect and take action together. We strive to be a welcoming place for all parents\, guardians\, grandparents\, caregivers\, and community members to connect and act together.\nSchool Streets Ottawa is a coalition of local volunteers along with supporting organizations who advocate for kids to have healthy and safe ways to get to school. Our mission is to have more students using travel modes that are active\, safe\, and sustainable.\nAlta Vista Community Association provides a forum where Alta Vista residents can dialog with each other and with the levels of government on matters affecting the quality of life in Alta Vista; and facilitates the work of committees and grass roots project groups endeavouring to improve the quality of life in Alta Vista.\nQuestions about the event can be sent to kidicalmassottawa@gmail.com

SUMMARY:No Pride in Genocide On-line Teach-in
DESCRIPTION:This teach-in will make connections between the current genocidal attacks on the Palestinian people\, on Indigenous people on Turtle Island\, on people in Sudan\, and on attacks on queer and trans people in Canada and beyond. Mainstream white homonationalist LGBT and Pride organizations in Canada have refused to support the call for an end to the Israeli genocide of Palestinians and instead support the genocidal Canadian state as well as corporations and banks that are supporting the ongoing destruction of Palestine. This teach-in is the lead in to our anti-genocidal\, anti-racist and anti-fascist Abolitionist Pride of resistance and love while opposing those who believe Pride can be based on genocide.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: A Communist for the RCMP by Dennis Gruending
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of A Communist for the RCMP\, Dennis Gruending’s exposé of Canada’s nefarious and disruptive surveillance practices. Dennis will be joined in conversation by writer and a former Canadian diplomat Geoff White. \nMonday\, June 17 starting at 7:00pm\nOttawa Mennonite Church\, 1830 Kilborn Ave.\, Ottawa\nRefreshments will be served \nIn 1941\, the RCMP recruited Frank Hadesbeck\, a Spanish Civil War veteran\, as a paid informant to infiltrate the Communist Party. For decades\, he informed not only upon communists\, but also upon hundreds of other people who held progressive views. Hadesbeck’s “Watch Out” lists on behalf of the Security Service included labour activists\, medical doctors\, lawyers\, university professors and students\, journalists\, Indigenous and progressive farm leaders\, members of the clergy\, and anyone involved in the peace and human rights movements. \n“The Canadian government has made exceptional efforts to erase or seclude documents related to decades of RCMP dirty tricks\, but A Communist for the RCMP provides stunning insights into the nuts and bolts of the force’s infiltration campaigns. Dennis Gruending provides a rich and masterful narration of previously unseen informant files\, creating an unrelenting account into the everyday work of RCMP infiltration… it is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the politics of RCMP spying.” – Jeffrey Monaghan\, co-author of Policing Indigenous Movements: Dissent and the Security State \nDennis Gruending has written and edited eight books. He has worked as a print and television journalist and as a CBC Radio host. Gruending served as a New Democratic Party MP in the 36th parliament and was his party’s critic for the environment and for international development.
