People’s Summit for a Fossil Free Future

The People’s Summit for a Fossil Free Future is the civil society counterpart to the historic First International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, taking place in Santa Marta from 24-29 April 2026.

The People’s Summit was held from the 24 to 26 of April and serves as a critical space for self-organized civil society to unify our demands and build collective power from the ground up. It is based on a global process for deepening and widening broad movement consensus on a more comprehensive agenda for a rapid, equitable, and just energy transition, culminating in the adoption of three key papers: the Principles; the Demands; the People’s Roadmap.

Canada’s most expensive election promise was climate inaction

When indirect climate impacts are considered, such as lost productivity due to extreme heat and supply chain disruptions, the total costs of climate change to the Canadian economy were likely greater than $20 billion last year.

That’s a lot of money—enough to pay for many of the federal parties’ big-ticket election promises—but it ultimately amounts to less than one per cent of Canada’s GDP. At present, the costs of climate change are small enough to be absorbed by the economy and diffuse enough that they can be—and are being—generally ignored by politicians.

“I Am a Jew”: Jeffrey Wernick’s Moral Reckoning With Netanyahu’s Israel

In one of the most emotionally charged and morally uncompromising statements yet from a Jewish public intellectual, investor and commentator Jeffrey Wernick delivers a direct rebuke to Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision of Israel — not from outside Judaism, but from deep within its ethical tradition. Rejecting the idea that military expansion, domination, or “Greater Israel” can be reconciled with the teachings of the prophets, Wernick invokes voices long ignored by history: Ahad Ha’am, Martin Buber, Albert Einstein, and Hannah Arendt — all of whom warned that a state built on the degradation of another people would ultimately betray Judaism itself.

Ontario’s higher education sector is at a breaking point. From the systematic marketization of colleges and universities to the sustained attack on labour rights, the provincial government’s strategy is clear: treat education as a commodity rather than a social good.

Join us for a political discussion as we analyze the maneuvers of Doug Ford government’s — including the devastating shift from OSAP grants to loans, the manufactured "international student crisis," and the broader austerity agenda threatening social equality.

We explore strategies for a labour and community-led response, highlighting ongoing student and labour fightbacks and providing a direct opportunity for attendees to plug into the organizing work necessary to defend, expand, and decommodify our public institutions.
