Jack Purcell Community Centre (near Elgin and Gilmour)
Why does poverty exist? How come certain groups -workers, women and people
of colour, for example- are poorer than others? How does Canadian society
portray poverty and those who are forced to live in it? And what are poor
people and their allies doing to fight back? Jeff Schantz, an anarchist
organizer with the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty, will talk about these
issues and the anti-poverty work that OCAP has been doing in Toronto. There
will also be a speaker from the Under Pressure Collective to speak about
poverty in Ottawa and the work they have been doing here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Anarchist Discussion Group meets every second Sunday afternoon. We
are local Ottawa activists and community members who share an
anti-authoritarian and ant-capitalist viewpoint. We are involved in diverse
struggles and
believe in the importance maintaining a link between theory and practice.
Discussions are based on readings, presentations or short films. If
there are readings, they are optional and will be summarized at the
beginning of the discussion. Printouts of readings are available from OPIRG
at U of O.
All are welcome. Accessible! Child-friendly!
