2) *Anti-Oppression 101 Training*
Thursday January 26th
1pm to 4pm
Student Centre RM. 321

Have you been a part of a group where racism, classism, transphobia,
heterosexism, misogyny, ableism and/or any other form of oppression made it
impossible for you to stay in the group, made it impossible for others to
stay in the group, caused painful and unresolved conflict or hindered the
broader work of the group towards social change? Wondering what some of
those words mean?
How can we build long-term and sustainable relationships to anchor our work
for the world we envision while getting real about how systemic oppressions
continue to damage and hinder our relationships to each other?

3) FREE DOCUMENTARY SCREENING THIS THURSDAY!

'Tibet in Song' is directed by former political prisoner Ngawang Choephel
as he looks at cultural genocide in Tibet and the effects of the cultural
revolution on Tibetan culture. The film follows his journey in trying to
reclaim traditional Tibetan folk songs in the face of immense cultural
repression in Tibet. What follows is a heartbreaking tale of cultural
exploitation and resistance, which includes Ngawangs' own eventual
imprisonment for recording the very songs at the center of the film.

Date: Thursday, Jan 26th.
Time : 6pm
Where: Student Centre Rm 321.
Who: Brought to you by Students for a Free Tibet (SFT at YORK)
