SUMMARY:Black Maternal Health & Reproductive Justice Month: Anti-Racist Sex-Ed

SUMMARY:Addressing Systems\, Exploring Impacts and Embracing Equity (International Women's Day 2023)
DESCRIPTION:Equity promotes justice\, fairness and impartiality within the processes\, procedures\, and distribution of resources by systems or institutions.

Collective activism is what drives change and allies are incredibly important for the social\, economic\, cultural\, and political advancement of women. \nJoin our webinar panel to discuss how individuals\, community and organizations can contribute to these efforts.

SUMMARY:Revolutionaries & Resistance Movements: Black History Month Event
DESCRIPTION:Black History is a time to celebrate the achievements of civil rights movements\, innovative trailblazers\, and beauty in our diverse cultural expressions. The history of Black Canadians is an particularly diverse one – from the story of Black Canadians in Africville\, to the wave of African & Caribbean migrants that arrived in Canada over the course of the 60s and 80s\, and now at present day – the history of revolution and resistance is a recurring theme that is prevalent amongst Black communities. This Black History Month not only are we taking a moment to explore our past\, but we are also taking the time to celebrate the work of contemporary Black scholars\, activists\, and leaders from our local communities. \nDilaye Desta will be moderating this discussion & will go through a series of questions that highlight our panelists & views and the passion behind their work. We will hear about the historical context of resistance movements in Canada and how their work ties into community activism and revolution in contemporary society. We will discuss what barriers are faced whether it be within our communities or due to the lack of support given to our communities and initiatives. Then the conversation will transition into highlighting the work of current local Anti-Black racism initiatives and ways we can support the community and these initiatives. \nThere will be a brief Question and Answer period at the end and an opportunity to share educational resources for those who want to learn more\, get involved\, and challenge everyone to do their part to ensure the change we all want to see. \n  \nRegister using the link below

SUMMARY:Preparing for a Recession: Persevering Through Economic Uncertainty Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:During periods of recession\, companies make fewer sales and economic growth stalls or becomes nonexistent. To cut rising costs\, organizations may be forced to lay off large portions of their staff\, resulting in widespread unemployment. At the same time\, hiring slows down\, making it difficult for the newly unemployed to find another job. Preparing for a recession is essential to your financial security. Knowing how it affects the economy and your finances and taking key steps will help you during an economic downturn. While you can’t control the timing of a recovery\, you can be proactive when it comes to looking after your financial well-being. \n  \nJoin us on January 27 at 5 PM at CWCLN Director Davene Sterling-Wisdom and guest speaker Carmelle Pelissier discuss and share tips and tools that could help your finances during a recession. \n  \nThese workshops will be available to watch for replay on our Facebook.
