The timing can't be more apt. Amidst forest fires up north, smog and tornado in Montreal among other signs of intensifying climate crises the big oil companies in Canada continue to enjoy government subsidies and Canada remains highest per-capita contributor to GHG emissions (#).
Reading and reflecting on just transition, bringing in immense amount of Indigenous wisdom, could provide one of the missing ingredients in conversations on the recent signs of global warming that have started to show up at our own door.
We invite you to come together to read and think about the recently-published book, "The End of This World: Climate Justice in So-called Canada" co-authored by Angele Alook, Emily Eaton, David Gray-Donald, Joël Laforest, Crystal Lameman and Bronwen Tucker. The book sheds light on the collective responsibility paving way for climate justice.
We would love for you to join us!!
Our first meet-up will be on Thursday, July 27 from 6pm-7:30pm at QPIRG Concordia, to talk about the book's Intro and Chapters 1-2 (up to page 62). But don't be shy to join if you've only read some of it! Let us know if you plan to join us by sending an email at politics.and.therapy.are.one@gmail.com by July 24th.
Looking forward to thinking/raging/wondering/visioning with you and this text!

Politics & Care weaves links between collective wellbeing, care and politics. Formed in Tiohtiake (Montreal) during the 2012 student strike, we look at care as a political and collective issue. We hold collective discussions and facilitate workshops for activist groups, community organisations and more; We open spaces we can reflect on "how" we organize while taking into consideration power dynamics and such; spaces where we share stories, ideas and practices to create accountable, sustainable and thriving communities. https://politicsandcare.wordpress.com
