Greetings Sisters and
Brothers,
The Peoples’ Social Forum is a mass gathering of progressive
organizations and activists that will feature special exhibitions, film
screenings, rallies, a pow-wow, street performances, concerts, games, and over
500 workshops.
The Forum will take place in Ottawa on August 21-24, 2014
(http://www.peoplessocialforum.org/).
PSAC will be offering 1
day of Leave Without Pay and the $25 registration fee for the Forum for a total
of 25 members throughout the Ontario Region.
This partial funding is to
help offset the financial burden for members who will take part in the Forum and
will be based on the responses from interested members to the following 2
questions:
1. Why are you interested in attending the Peoples’ Social
Forum?
2. How are you involved in your community promoting issues of social
justice?
Each answer to the above questions should be no longer than 200
words each and the deadline for submissions has been extended to August 20,
2014.
Note that accommodations and expenses are not being provided,
however, the Peoples’ Social Forum does have special accommodation rates listed
here: www.peoplessocialforum.org/ottawa
PSAC has also booked
accessible buses for members from London, Toronto and Kingston. For full details
and to register for a spot on the buses please do so online here: http://ontario.psac.com/gta/toronto-course-registration-form-2014-0
In
Solidarity,

PSAC Regional Executive Vice-President
