Monday, June 23: Meeting of Sudbury Coalition Against Poverty

S-CAP is a direct-action anti-poverty organization based in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. We provide direct-action support work assisting individuals in their struggles with welfare and ODSP, housing, employers, and others who deny people what they are entitled to in order to meet their needs. In addition, we mount campaigns against and support educational work about regressive government policies as they effect working people and people living in poverty. We believe in the power of people to organize themselves. We believe in the power of resistance!
La coalition contre la pauvreté de Sudbury (S-CAP) est un organisme d’action directe luttant contre la pauvreté. Elle se trouve à Sudbury en Ontario.
Le travail de la coalition se base dans l’action directe et consiste à apporter de l’aide aux individus dans leurs luttes pour l’assistance sociale, l’invalidité, le logement, l’emploi et à les aider à faire face aux gens qui leur refusent ce à quoi ils ont droit pour rencontrer leurs besoins. De plus, la coalition fait des compagnes de sensibilisation et de dénonciation par rapport aux politiques gouvernementales régressives quant à leurs effets sur les travailleurs et travailleuses et les personnes vivant dans la pauvreté.
La coalition croit au pouvoir des personnes de s’organiser elles-mêmes; elle croit au pouvoir de la résistance!

Wednesday, June 25: The Event Formerly Known as Open Stage for Radicals and Progressives
Time: 8pm to 10pm
Location: The Townehouse (206 Elgin Street, Sudbury)
So, our idea that people might enjoy exploring radical and progressive art failed. We were unable to develop or maintain interest in this event. What did evolve, though, were some great discussions, and so we’re going to continue meeting at the Townehouse – same day, same time – for more of the same and with the theme of demarcating to unite! (Oh, and we will consciously avoid becoming a discussion/study group. We will put what we learn into practice!) At some point down the road, we may try the open stage again!

The Sudbury working-group of The Media Co-op was formed to create independent media in the North, to speak to our issues and outlooks on our communities as well as the world around us. Independent media provides an avenue for people who are wishing to gain critical perspective on the issues that matter most to us, and to give a voice to those people and stories that you won't find in the mainstream media.
