Sept 27 - Quebec Student Strike: Cross Canada Speaking Tour in Victoria

[Research Coordinator, VIPIRG]

Cross Canada speaking tour: The Quebec student strike!

Thursday September 27, 7pm

UVic, Hickman 105

 

In a little more then a week, Jerome Raza will be coming to Victoria to talk about his experience as a radical on the front lines of a popular rebellion in Quebec, led by students but joined in by trade unionist, anarchist, and revolutionaries of all kinds.  Come and listen to Jerome give a packed and exciting presentation on a revolution in the making, and what it will take to win.

 

Jerome Raza has been a student activist and organizer since 2004. After a year on the board of his local student union, he joined the executive board of ASSÉ on the eve of the 2005 general student strike against massive cuts to student financial aid. As the student strike coalition, CASSÉÉ, was formed, he was delegated to sit on its negotiations committee that was mandated to present the strike movement's demands to the government. After leaving official capacity in 2006, he joined the Montreal NEFAC collective, which later became part of UCL. Since February, he has been active in supporting the student mobilization through various organizing roles, as well as being involved in his neighborhood's autonomous popular assembly borne out of the spontaneous pots & pans movement.
