Background

2011 has been a real year of uprisings for social change — from the Arab
Spring to the recent ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement and the mass civil
disobedience to the tar sands KeystoneXL pipeline.

Here in Canada, we are facing a majority Conservative government. How can
we make change and build powerful movements for social justice?

One thing’s for sure, young people will need to help lead the way. And
that’s exactly what happened back in June when a 21-year-old Senate page
disrupted Harper’s swearing in with a creative act of civil disobedience.

Brigette DePape will join us to tell us what motivated her action, and to
discuss with others how we can build a powerful, inclusive,
multi-generational movement for social change in this country.
