SUMMARY:Rally and March for Migrant Justice
DESCRIPTION:Migrants make Canada work. We care for children and elders\, grow food\, build homes\, and keep communities running. \nBut the government is pushing migrants out instead of giving people equal rights. Permits are expiring\, being refused\, cancelled\, or made impossible to renew. Refugees are under attack. People are being deported. Families are being separated. Those who remain are forced to work with fewer rights and more fear. \nAt the same time\, working class people are being squeezed by high rents\, low wages\, service cuts\, and insecurity. Migrants are being blamed for a crisis created by underfunding\, privatization\, corporate greed\, and governments that put the rich first. \nSunday\, September 20\, 2026\, 2:00 PM\nChristie Pits Park\, 750 Bloor West\, Toronto

SUMMARY:Understanding Capitalism: An Introduction to Capital
DESCRIPTION:Frustrated with capitalism and its impacts on human beings and the planet? Do you believe that a more equitable\, democratic\, and liberatory society is possible? \nWaking up from the capitalist nightmare requires a clear understanding of what we are up against: how we understand capitalism\, how it works\, and how it compels us to act in certain ways – these all shape what kinds of strategies will be needed to move beyond it. \nThis course will approach these questions and others through An Introduction to the Three Volumes of Karl Marx’s Capital by Michael Heinrich\, one of most approachable and understandable guides through Marx’s masterwork. Capital remains the most important work of critical analysis of capitalism in history\, through its exploration of the economic principles that govern capitalism\, and the problems faced by workers and society. \nWhy not just read Capital directly? Capital is infamously long and difficult! Many aspiring socialist activists over the years have plunged in head first\, only to find the language daunting and the ideas hard to grasp. Heinrich’s book gives a compact\, concise\, and clear presentation of the main points\, providing a solid understanding of how capitalism functions. \nWe will discuss the most common questions raised by Heinrich’s book (and Marx’s three volumes of Capital)\, as well the political and practical relevance of the material today. Understanding capitalism isn’t just an intellectual exercise\, it’s a key part of how we begin to build a better world! \nWhen: Sunday September 20\, weekly until November 8. All classes 2-5pm\nWhere: Toronto ON + Online\nHow: Advance registration required\nCost: Free/recommended donation: $40 \nAll are welcome to this introductory 7-week course. Whether you’re just dipping your toes into socialist politics and full of questions\, or an experienced activist wanting to revisit your understanding of capitalism\, we’d love for you to join us! \nParticipants will be asked to read along as we work our way through a 220 page book over seven weeks. A free PDF or at-cost physical copy of the book will be made available.

SUMMARY:Solidarity Is Strength
DESCRIPTION:From the Ontario Days of Action to Building the Fight Against Ford \nAll 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. \nA 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.  \nBroad 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. \nWhen: Saturday September 26\nTime: 10am-4pm\, check-in at 9:30am.\nWhere: College Street United Church\, 454 College Street\, Toronto ON.\nHow: Please preregister online

SUMMARY:Introduction to Socialism
DESCRIPTION:Curious about socialism? Interested about if it is really possible and taking a sober look at the problems it will face? Want to discuss how to begin affecting change right now?  \nIn these uncertain and dangerous times\, The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is a space to listen\, discuss and challenge the contemporary relevancy of socialism.   \nThe School’s flagship course\, Introduction to Socialism\, is designed for both those experienced activists always looking to learn more\, and those newer to socialist ideas and full of questions. It will not only provide a unique venue for collectively tackling important topics\, but also a welcoming space where any question relevant to socialist organizing\, no matter how basic or advanced\, can be raised and discussed. \nInstead of providing exact definitions and historical readings\, the course will focus on understanding the structures of capitalism in order to challenge it and begin building a better world. We will rely on the ideas and lived experience of participants to enhance the presentations\, examples\, and collective discussions that make up each session. \nOver 8 weeks we’ll explore topics such as what and who is the working class\, what makes socialism different\, how we can overcome political barriers\, how socialists can approach elections and winning reforms in the existing state\, what role trade unions and political parties have played for working class struggles\, and much more!  \nWhen: Sunday September 27\, weekly until November 22. All classes 2:30-5pm (skipping Thanksgiving weekend)\nWhere: Jubilee United Church – 6000 Sussex Ave\, Burnaby\, BC V5H 3C2\nWho: Anyone and everyone curious about socialism!

SUMMARY:Socialism and Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is thrilled to be supporting the latest edition of Socialism and Capitalism organized by Socialist Project Fredericton. This is a new version of the course\, now held over one weekend!  \nOver the two days we will examine the historical development of socialism as a response to the continual evolution of capitalism. We ask: “What is socialism now and how did we get here?” And we ask: “What is capitalism now and how has it changed?” All the while we trace the evolution of socialism as an analytical and political paradigm responding to the harmful and often violent effects of capitalism. Throughout our journey we will stress that the essence of socialism involves the desire to get beyond the horrors and trauma caused by capitalism. \nThis course will run 9:00am-5:30pm on October 17 and 9:00am-1:30pm on October 18. Participants are encouraged to attend the entire weekend\, if able! Venue details will be shared with registrants in the weeks leading up to the course.
