Thursday is OPIRG Day in the UC Courtyard!

Volunteer Coordinator February 6, 2017

There’s always a lot going on at OPIRG, and new things are starting all the time! On Thursday February 9th, from 10am to 4:30pm, stop by and visit us in the UC Courtyard to see what we’re up to.

– talk to Action Group members about their work for migrant justice and against the fossil fuel economy, and find out how you can start an Action Group of your own
– check out our new Radical Reads and Radical Reels series and other upcoming events
– see what’s up with RadiOPIRG and in our library
– talk to members about upcoming Board of Directors nominations and elections
– learn about our upcoming social and environmental justice symposium

We’ll be there to answer your questions and help you get involved. We’ll also have a button maker, free zines, and other fun things to do, and prizes of course!

Here’s the FB event – invite your friends! https://www.facebook.com/events/860721990736791/

OPIRG Guelph is located on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton, the Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples and the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the significance of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant to this land and offer our respect and gratitude to all of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island who have stewarded, loved & defended this land for centuries.

In stating this, we acknowledge that we are here as a result of blood that has been shed through colonization, which continues to be the lived experience of Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to be accountable for our present participation in that process.
