Activism

homeless nation.org

• The Homeless Nation is Canada's only website created by and for Homeless Canadians. Through a national network of outreach workers, The Homeless Nation Project is dedicated to providing the tools for homeless Canadians to share their stories, unique philosophies and points of view with other Canadians. As well, this site provides an opportunity for the general public to interact and learn more about Canada's homeless population. We believe social change is an interactive process, and HomelessNation^?.org is a means to starting this national dialogue.

multistory complex

• Multistory Complex aims to democratize urban planning processes through public education and engagement. We operate as a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration, experimentation and action.

New Socialist Group

• We are an organization of socialist activists. We publish NEW SOCIALIST, a magazine offering radical analysis of politics, social movements and culture. Our website and magazine are forums for people who want to strengthen today's activism and for those who wish to replace global capitalism with a genuinely democratic socialism. We believe that the liberation of the working class and oppressed peoples can be won only through their own struggles. We invite you to find out more and to work with or join us.

No One Is Illegal - Toronto

• No One is Illegal (Toronto) is a group of immigrants, refugees and allies who fight for the rights of all migrants to live with dignity and respect. We believe that granting citizenship to a privileged few is part of a racist immigration and border policy designed to exploit and marginalize migrants. We work to oppose these policies, as well as the international economic policies that create the conditions of poverty and war that force migration. At the same time, we also work to support and build alliances with our Indigenous brothers and sisters in their fight against colonialism, displacement and the ongoing occupation of their land.

Ontario Coalition Against Poverty

• OCAP is a direct-action anti-poverty organization based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We mount campaigns against regressive government policies as they affect poor and working people. In addition, we provide direct-action advocacy for individuals against eviction, termination of welfare benefits, and deportation. We believe in the power of people to organize themselves.

planning action

• We are a group of urban planners, architects and activists who work with diverse communities of Toronto struggling against economic, cultural, and ecological injustice to open spaces for people to imagine, transform, and enjoy the city.

Toronto Disaster Relief Committee

• The Toronto Disaster Relief Committee (TDRC) is a group of social policy, health care and housing experts, academics, business people, community health workers, social workers, AIDS activists, anti-poverty activists, people with homelessness experience, and members of the faith community. We provide advocacy on housing and homelessness issues. We declare homelessness as a national disaster, and demand that Canada end homelessness by implementing a fully-funded National Housing Program through the One Percent Solution.

The Toronto School of Creativity and Inquiry

• TSCI designs education events inquiring into the new enclosures: enclosures on time, space, creativity, thought, ecology, love... We seek to understand how these enclosures work. But combating against cynicism, we also inquire into creative pathways within, against, and beyond the enclosures: pathways of thinking, collaboration, organization, experimentation...

Toronto Video Activist Collective

• The VIDEO ACTIVIST COLLECTIVE is a new movement designed to harness the treacherous tube to our struggles for justice. Get involved.

Women Against Poverty Collective

• The Women Against Poverty Collective is planning the next steps in our campaign to create housing for women and trans people, that is accessible and controlled by those who live in it. We continue to demand that all levels of government make access to affordable and safe housing a priority, particularly for survivors of violence. As we approach the October 10th provincial election, we invite women and trans people to "Get Your Message Out!" by joining us at workshop that will be a space for participants to create stencils and plans for use during the weeks leading up to the provincial election and beyond. We are looking at ways to create public messages that will keep the need for housing for women and trans people visible.
