GREATER TORONTO WORKERS’ ASSEMBLY (GTWA) COFFEEHOUSE: OCCUPY DEBRIEF
January 27, 2012; 7pm
Beit Zatoun, 612 Markham Street, Toronto
2011 - maybe it wasn't quite 1968 but it was a year of great social
upheaval. With 2011 behind us, the GTWA is holding the first in what will be
a new series of Coffeehouses to discuss where we are as a movement, with
this particular one featuring two local activists who were very involved in
Occupy Toronto, and in particular building links between the Occupy movement
and the labour movement. Is this the beginning of a new community/labour
coalition that we've been waiting for? Will the Occupy movement be able to
sustain itself and help awaken a dormant labour movement? How did the Occupy
Toronto experience measure up with other Occupations? These and other issues
will be topics of comradely discussion.
Speakers include two activists with the Occupy movement - Brendan Bruce and
Lana Goldberg.
This Coffeehouse is organized by the Greater Toronto Workers' Assembly
Internal Education and Political Development Committee (IEPD).
