We are looking for folks from all walks of life to join us this year to be
a part of DisOrientation 2014, which promises to be a series of exciting
and engaging events that will promote and support critical thinking and
activism in our communities on and off campus. By bringing together a range
of campus and community groups, DisO aims to draw the links between the
many different kinds of political, environmental and social justice based
organizing that exists on campus and in our communities.

This year’s DisOrientation is to be held on and near the York University
campus, from Monday, September 22nd to Friday, September 26th. Throughout
the week, OPIRG York and partner organizations will be offering a series of
amazing workshops, panels and teach-ins, filled with storytelling,
skills-sharing and art-making. DisO is fundamentally about sharing skills,
stories, and knowledge that demonstrate the vibrant talents and
capabilities we all possess!

*Ideas we are looking at for this year:*

1. political comedy night with Aamer Rahman
2. queerness & disability, transformative justice, sex work
3. Alternative Media - YU Free Press
4. Divestment - fossil fuels, war and occupation, university investments
(pushing campaigns like EJ, BDS)
5. End Immigration Detention
6. Program Corporatization (@ York U and universities)
7. JFAAP, Jane-Finch community, gentrification
8. gender based violence
9. zine making (re. self-care, positive space)
10. art attack (hands-on art - screenprinting, stencilling, etc).

All are welcome! All events will be free and wheelchair accessible!!
