January 23rd. Check the Global Apartheid conference for the exact time.

Indigenous Solidarity for Settlers

The goal of the workshop is to educate non-indigenous people about the
importance of indigenous solidarity and to teach people and learn from
them about what solidarity means and how to do it. The IPSM Ottawa is a
predominantly settler organization that works toward building a movement
of non-indigenous people actively supporting indigenous people struggling
for justice and decolonization.

Our workshop "Indigenous Solidarity for Settlers" consists of three parts:

1) Looking at colonization from an anti-oppressive framework.

We look at how colonization has historically and continues to be imposed
through individual behaviour and institutional and cultural oppression.

2) What does solidarity mean?

We focus on what solidarity is and how to "do it". The word solidarity is
used a lot, especially in radical organizing, but it is not always easy to
define or to do. Put simply we believe that it is essential in solidarity
work to "listen, take direction and stick around".

3) Case study

Using an example from the organizing that the IPSM has done, such as
organizing in support of the Barriere Lake Algonquin, we will explore what
solidarity work looks like in practice. Using concrete examples from our
own experiences we analyze the strengths and weaknesses of this organizing
in order to examine how to do solidarity work well.
