[Iswg3906.organizers] tomorrow!

[Peter Hopperton]

hey team,


The minutes said that we have a meeting at noon tomorrow before the event, but I don't think a location was ever announced. David has offered his place as a meeting venue, since it's close to Dundurn castle where we're meeting at 2pm.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow! We're gonna look at the geography of colonization!

Hi all,
This is the draft callout for the event Saturday.  Please take a look and if you have suggestions for changes let us know asap!  I'd like to send this out to folks who participated in the first workshop & a few others, as discussed at our last meeting, as soon as possible, since Saturday is coming up fast.  


I'll wait overnight for comments and then plan to send out this invitation by 10am tomorrow morning.  Sound ok? We probably should have sent this out already.  Apologies for the delay! Does this still give us enough time?  Or do you think we should postpone the workshop?


cheers,


Niki



***Workshop: Colonization Written on the Landscape


featuring Knowing the Land is ResistanceSaturday, August 10th


2-5pmMeet in the parking lot of Dundurn Castle at York and Dundurn


Following the Indigenous Solidarity and Allyship workshop a couple of
weeks ago, the Indigenous Solidarity Working Group of CUPE 3906 would like
to invite you to continue the conversation about how to more deeply



incorporate an anti-colonial practice into our lives and our organizing.
We see this as a space to dig more deeply into the issues and concepts
introduced in that workshop, such as colonialism/settler-colonialism,



white supremacy, anti-racism, and anti-oppression.We propose a monthly meeting where people who have already been



confronting issues of colonization can gather to discuss and share
resources. This first meeting will feature a discussion with the group
Knowing the Land is Resistance about understanding how colonization has
played out on the physical terrain of Hamilton. The area around Dundurn



castle has several sites significant to the local process of colonization,
so we will do a bit of walking to visit them.


The rest of the meeting will be used to decide how we want to
learn and challenge ourselves moving ahead and what we want from these
monthly gatherings. We imagine these workshops including speakers, film
screenings, and readings, as well as creating resources, but we can spend



time at this first meeting deciding what specifically we would like to do.The 10th is the second Saturday in August, and (unless the group decides



otherwise) we will continue meeting on the 2nd Saturday of each month
following.For more information, contact iswg3906 at gmail.com. For Knowing the Land is



Resistance, http://knowingtheland.com
