From the Ontario Days of Action to Building the Fight Against Ford

All are invited to participate in Solidarity is Strength, an organizing event reflecting on a defining chapter of Ontario’s history and what lessons we can carry forward to fight today’s austerity agenda. The event will include a conversation with Paul Kellogg, author of Austerity and Resistance: the Ontario Days of Action, 1995-1998, as well other labour leaders, rank and file education workers, and prominent activists.

A big fight is brewing over public education thanks to dedicated workers who’ve been reviving deep organizing methods. Education Workers’ see that their power and leverage is as a province-wide, strategically situated and coordinated group providing a highly valued public service.

Broad solidarity from across sectors, unions, and locals, can make this fight unstoppable. In the process of defending our public schools and kids’ futures – a foundational issue for the entire working class – we also build a crucial wedge and the blueprint for a very different Ontario.
