Rally against Cuts to Employment Insurance

Monday, June 11, noon
Constituency office of Ted Opitz - MP for Etobicoke Centre, 577 Burnhamthorpe Road

The Federal Government's sweeping changes to EI attack the most vulnerable and bring down wages and employment conditions for all workers.  Unemployed workers would be forced to make longer commutes to take precarious and low paying jobs -- as little as 70% of what they were previously earning.

Cages of Shame - documentary

Tuesday, June 12, 7:30 pm
AMC Theatres (Yonge and Dundas) 
$10 suggested donation
Additional: Vegan baked goods will be for sale.
Tickets can be purchased on the 4th floor near the ticket takers. Look for our Animals Asia’s table.

One of 7 can’t miss films of 2012 according to VegNews! “Cages of Shame is a powerful look into China’s cruel bear-bile farms and a tale of the rescue of 10 of their captives. Tragic but inspiring, the film follows animal activist Jill Robinson and her team as they do whatever it takes to liberate moon bears from a farm where they have lived devastatingly miserable lives in deplorable conditions, all in the name of collecting their bile for supposedly medicinal uses. Shedding light on a lesser-known but horrific industry, this documentary could have the power to raise awareness and abolish the practice of bear-bile farming forever.”

Evening also includes a talk by animal rights photographer Jo-Anne McArthur who was there during a rescue and Alice Ng of AAF who will provide an uplifting update on Oliver and the other bears that were rescued.

Cinema Politica's second event will screen the Audience Choice winner for 2011
 
Sweet Crude
followed by a Q&A with director Sandy Cioffy who will present recent shorts on the tar sands, BP oil spill and much more. 

Tuesday, June 12, 6:30 p.m.
The Bloor, 506 Bloor Street West (at Bathurst)
Entrance is by donation!
 
Set against a stunning backdrop of Niger Delta footage, the film gives voice to the region’s complex mix of stakeholders and invites the audience to learn the deeper story. The issues are local and human, yet they have far-reaching political, environmental and economic implications. It’s a powder-keg situation that affects the daily lives and futures of the people who live there. Left unchecked, its consequences will be felt around the globe. Yet barely anyone outside the Delta knows what’s really happening. What happens in Nigeria ripples through African political stability and global economic markets. Because Nigeria produces more than 10 percent of the U.S. oil supply. Ultimately, the events unfolding in the Niger Delta affect us all.

Ride for Jarvis

Wed. June 13, 6 p.m.
Allan Gardens (Gerrard and Sherbourne) - riding en masse to City Hall

On July 13th 2011, city council voted to remove the bike lanes on Jarvis. Then on July 20th, cyclists from all over Toronto gathered on Jarvis to ride in protest of that vote. This year, let's come together again to celebrate the bike lanes on Jarvis and protest their slated removal. Why are we protesting?
- The vote was without due public process and consultation.
- Thousands of cyclists and pedestrians rely on the bike lanes on Jarvis to safely commute downtown. 
- Removing the lanes will cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars simply to return the street to its original, car-centric design. 

Let's show Mayor Ford and the City of Toronto that these bike lanes are important to us, to the health of the city, to the pocketbooks of taxpayers and to the future development of Jarvis as a vibrant downtown community.

The Harper Conservatives are trying to ram a Budget Bill that contains changes to 70 different laws through Parliament, including proposals that secretly gut our environmental protection laws and threaten our forests, water and wildlife. We only have days to help
stop this outrageous bill before it passes. While our MPs gather in Ottawa for a decisive showdown in Parliament, we’ll rally their home ridings, and communities across Canada, to call for 13 “hero” Conservative MPs to work together and stop the Bill, split it, and start over. 

And sign the AVAAZ petition against Bill 38 here:

Free and accessible transit committee planning meeting

Wednesday, 13 June, 7 - 9 pm
Centre for Social Innovation, 2nd Floor, 720 Bathurst Street 

Come out to help the Free and Accessible Transit Campaign Committee begin planning towards a "People's" or "Community" Transit Plan. We need your participation. At the last GTWA GMM a motion was passed to begin a participatory research and organizing project that contemplates a "People's" or "Community" Transit Plan spelling out how we can get free and accessible transit in the next 15 years. This project has the potential to allow the GTWA to make a very substantial intervention in the transit debate and in doing so to establish the GTWA as a critical left anti-capitalist space in Toronto.

Location: Young People’s Theatre | 165 Front Street East, Toronto 
Free!

Residents from Toronto’s most notorious intersection find themselves backed into a dystopian corner by ‘the man’. Armed with art, a conscience and the echoes of Arab Spring, they must decide whether to run, hide, stand their ground or come out fighting. KNOWN TO POLICE is a celebration of the vibrancy, resilience and swag of a community that finds itself on the wrong side of society’s “you are either with us or against us” speech. 

Nomanzland is a collective that brings together youth from different artistic backgrounds to create work that represents the struggle of marginalized and oppressed people all over the world. Young People’s Theatre has been working with Nomanzland since 2008, offering professional mentorship, networking and skill-building opportunities to the group.

Kivalina Vs. Exxon

June 15-19
Bloor Cinema (at Bathurst)

Faced with the disastrous consequences of climate warming due to irresponsible corporate practices, Kivalina, situated on a peninsula in northwest Alaska, is in danger of vanishing in rising water levels. In 2008, the Inupiat village shook the industrial giants of the world by suing some of the largest oil and mining companies including ExxonMobil Corp. Ben Addelman filmed daily life on the peninsula, learned about Kivalina’s traditions and listened to people’s hopes and fears. Shouldered by the incredible cinematography of Steve Cosens, Addelman captured gripping witness accounts of a community willing to take action in order to prevent their lives and a landscape of unparalleled beauty from disappearing.

The Island President
 
June 15 – 28
Bloor Cinema (at Bathurst)
 
Winner of the People’s Choice Award at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, The Island President chronicles the efforts of then-President of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, in his quest for the literal survival of his country. After bringing democracy to the Maldives for the first time in 30 years, Nasheed tackles global warming that threatens his country of 1,200 islands. As the lowest-lying country in the world, any significant rise in global water levels could completely wipe out the Maldives. Having unprecedented access, director Jon Shenk follows Nasheed as he leads a crusade with global leaders and top-level corporations. The film follows Nasheed in his first year in office and to the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit where he facilitates the first agreement by the United States, China and India to reduce carbon emissions. An informative, provocative and inspiring story

The Capoerê project was begun in the early nineties by Mestre Nenel and Mestre Saguim, in an effort to respond to the urgent need of children in Salvador.  Just as his father, Mestre Bimba, saw capoeira as an educational tool with which to create happier and healthier citizens, Mestre Nenel believes strongly that capoeira changes lives.  100% of the profit will go to supporting the project ie. teachers' salaries, snacks and uniforms.  Come play or come watch, and support a great cause!!!
