Mayworks Toronto
Mayworks Toronto brings struggle to centre-stage and confronts the dramatic
changes that are already part of our working lives throughout the world. In May
2000 we perform to a city where youth unemployment is above 25 per cent ... and where young
and old alike are being forced into part-time, casual and temporary work characterized by
low wages, job insecurity, zero benefits and serious health and safety risks.
Mayworks Saskatoon
May Works Saskatoon will be a celebration of people's struggles and the building of
communities on the Prairies!

Labour/Community Strategy Center
The organizing force behind the Bus Riders Union (see link above), the Labor/Community Strategy
is a multiracial anticorporate
"think tank/act tank" and National School for Strategic Organizing, committed to
building democratic internationalist social movements.
The Strategy Center's work
encompasses all aspects of urban life:
It emphasizes rebuilding the labor movement,
fighting for environmental justice, true mass transit for the masses,
and immigrant rights, as well as actively opposing
the growing criminalization, racialization, and feminization of poverty.
Under the Volcano Festival
Under the Volcano is the only major Vancouver festival with a "by donation" pay-what-you-can philosophy, and is produced by 150 volunteers! Under the Volcano combines a festival of political
arts with a conference made up of radical workshops and presentations. Come to Cates Park on
August 11 and 12 for the 12th Annual Under the Volcano Festival!
Working TV
Working TV is primarily a labour show, focusing on union issues. The original intention
of Working TV was to to counter the marginalization and censorship of labour by mainstream
television broadcasters, with labour positive programming produced by working people, for
working people.
As the years have gone by, Working TV has been producing more and more programming on broader
community, political and social justice issues.
