Below is a letter from 11 movement leaders from across Canada explaining why they're supporting the Climate Welcome in Ottawa on Nov. 5th through 9th. It's worth a full read, but if you're ready to join them, click here.
Dear friends,
On Monday, Justin Trudeau was elected as the next Prime Minister of Canada. During his victory speech, he stressed that the key to his victory was listening to people across Canada throughout the campaign. He said he would be the leader to bring “real action on climate change” forward in Canada. During that speech he talked about the need for a Prime Minister that “respects rights and honours treaties” in its relationship with Indigenous peoples that leads a government that is “ambitious” and “hopeful”.

The election of Jeremy Corbyn to the leadership of the British Labour Party is an expression of enormous discontent and anger at ever-worsening conditions since the crisis of 2008. Very few anticipated anything approaching Corbyn's victory at the beginning of the race, not least Corbyn himself. But now, with the benefit of hindsight, it is possible to identify...

Fighting Class War While 'Walking on Two Legs'
Cynthia Peters
There's an apartment building in Dorchester that used to be a safe and affordable place to live for working-class families in Boston. But after a corporate landlord bought it in 2013, it has become a case study in how displacement happens. First, he allowed it to fall into extreme disrepair. As the building deteriorated, leaks developed, mold started growing, and people started moving out. After they left, the landlord cleaned up their units and rented them at significantly higher rates.
When City Life/Vida Urbana volunteers (of which I am one) started organizing in the building, people were scared and alienated from each other. As we started holding meetings, tenants began to connect with each...
