Structured as a visual letter to his 4-year-old daughter, Damon blends traditional documentary footage with dramatized sequences and high-end visual effects to create a vision board for his daughter and the planet.”

March 27th and 28th – Foundations of Community Organizing: “Foundations” is an introduction to the leadership practices and principles of community organizing.

This training will cover:

• A introduction to the Greater Edmonton Alliance and its organizing tradition
• A deep dive into relational leadership styles
• Listening to a community for actions: relational and house meetings
• The organizing cycle – listening, discerning, acting, and reflection
• Power – what it is, how we build it, and how we learn to exercise “power with” rather than “power over”

The training will be run by the GEA’s organizers along with other organizers from across the IAF network. We will offer snacks for breakfast, as well as a dinner on Friday and lunch on Saturday. 
Accessibility: We will host the training in the lower hall at Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Strathcona. The hall is wheelchair accessible by a lift and has accessible washrooms on that level.”

March 27th, Friday – Fascism: What Is It & How to Fight It: “We’ll be hosting an event, “Fascism: What It Is and How to Fight It?”, at 5:45PM on Friday, March 27th at the Earth’s Refillery Coop on 95st.
It is very common to hear people call Trump and the MAGA movement “fascist.” It is true that he has brought out a variety of outwardly reactionary policies, but does this constitute “fascism” as liberals and the media often claim, or just the reality of capitalism in this age of chaos and crisis? Does it even matter whether we call Trump a fascist or not? And regardless of what we call him, how can we fight these policies and put and end to his and others’ regressive attacks?
If you’d like to get an answer to these questions and more, and/or have thoughts of your own, come out and meet us for this event! We hope to see you there!”
Time: 5.45pm

March 28th, Saturday – No Kings Solidarity Rally: “This rally is in solidarity with the people in the USA who are gathering in their millions to challenge Trump imperialism.
“No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. In 2025, millions of Americans came together in nonviolent protest to oppose the growing authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. And on March 28th, we are coming together again bigger and louder than ever before.
Every time the Trump administration escalates its violent attacks on everyday people and tries to take our freedoms, the No Kings movement grows stronger. When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, we will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence now and in the streets on March 28″
Oh, and we will also highlight the Epstein files at the rally. “

April 7th, Tuesday – Thoughtful Tuesday – Into the Manosphere: Watch Party and Discussion: Thoughtful Tuesday is a free weekly series of screenings being held at Earth’s Refillery Coop and Cafe. They are meant to raise community knowledge, inspire action, and discussion.
There seems to be a LOT of discussion regarding this documentary so we have decided to screen it at the cafe and facilitate a good discussion around it.
“What does it mean to be a man?
It’s a question explored in Louis Theroux’s latest documentary, Inside the Manosphere.
Netflix calls it a “no-holds barred” investigation into “a growing ultra-masculine network” – and it’s been sparking discussions since its release earlier this week.
Theroux spoke to some of the space’s most prominent figures – including UK streamer Harrison Sullivan, aka HS TikkyTokky, who is seen arguing with Theroux over claims he promotes misogynist views.
Some have called the documentary a “shocking” insight into the world of these influencers but others have accused it of failing to shed new light on the phenomenon.” )https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy57z4v2z97o)
The format is that people are invited to attend these free screenings, which will start at 7.00pm. Doors will open at 6:15pm so people can order a beverage or food from the cafe.
After the screening, we will discuss what we watched, how it affected you, and what might you do with the information and emotions you gained about this subject.
It is 91 minutes long.
