The election of Donald Trump has sent shockwaves across the globe, including here in Canada. Marginalized communities, youth and working class people are wondering what the rise of a right-wing billionaire who proudly spews racism and sexism will mean for them in the coming years.

Join us for a town-hall discussion in downtown Toronto on the rise of Donald Trump, its consequences, and how we can unite to combat Trump-style politics in Canada and elsewhere. Our aim is to draw in as many communities impacted by a Trump presidency as possible, with the hope of building a broad-based coalition to organize against Trump and right-wing populism into the future.

Date: Jan 20th, 2017

Time: 6:00-9:00pm

Location: Room LIB72 in the Ryerson Library Building 350 Victoria St

In addition to a panel of speakers, representatives of communities and organizations will be allotted time from the floor to describe the impact of Trump-style politics on them. The speakers list is being finalized and will be advertised soon.

This is a public event. In the interest of widening the discussion, your participation is encouraged!
