Alternative Journalism - YU Free Press writing workshop
Centre for Women and Trans People (Student Centre RM. 322)
For women and trans people interested in broadening their skills in
alternative journalism, anti-oppression and the chance to write or get
involved in the YU Free Press!

3:30pm to 5pm
Radical/Alternative Walking Tour
Meet in front of head of commons fountain
Tour Guides: Kelly Fritsch and Aaron Gordon

This political history tour attempts to get you on your way to 
uncovering and developing a historical knowledge of York. York has, is
and always will be a contestable space, and is a space that will always 
need to be fought over.
As members of York'’s community we are responsible for the actions of 
the University and holding the University accountable for its actions.
Building resistance to inequities produced by and through the university 
cannot spring from no where. The history of successful resistance at
York goes back before the first buildings were built or the York 
University Act was introduced in 1959. Contemporary campaigns, actions, 
coalitions, and solidarities can be built on this tradition– or 
historical memory – of resistance and political organization. The tour 
guides will provide you with a brief history of political actions on 
campus to help you better understand the politics of education at York 
University and better strengthen historical memory.
The tour will take about 1.5 hours.

*Friday September 24th*

12pm to 3pm
Anti-Oppression workshop 101
Facilitated by Zahra
Vanier College RM. 102
This interactive workshop will be a facilitated space where we can start 
conversations about privilege,
oppression and power. The point of the workshop is not to provide 
answers, but to ask questions of ourselves, each other and our communities.
Zahra Murad has been facilitating anti-oppression workshops in 
communities and with organizations for 5 years.
She comes to this work with a deep commitment to social and 
environmental justice, community building and baked goods.

3pm to 5pm
Fourth World War Film Screening
Closed Captioning Available
Nat Taylor Cinema
 From the front-lines of conflicts in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, 
Palestine, Korea, and the North; from Seattle to Genova, and the War
on Terror in New York, Afghanistan, and Iraq, The Fourth World War is 
the story of men and women around the world who resist being
annihilated in this war. The product of over two years of filming on the 
inside of movements on five continents, The Fourth World War is a
film that would have been unimaginable at any other moment in history.
Directed by the makers of This Is What Democracy Looks Like and Zapatista
produced through a global network of independent media and activist 
groups, it is a truly global film from our global movement.
