Wages for Schoolwork Booklaunch

Posted April 20th, 2025

Author Shiv Raveendrabose / ARP Books 
Saturday, May 24
1:00-3:00 pm
ARP Books Office
205-70 Arthur Street
Free to attend, Books available for purchase

This book presents a radical proposal: paying students to attend school. Part polemic, part movement history, and part political strategy, Wages for Schoolwork is a rousing manifesto and call to action for disillusioned high school students fed up with stressed teachers, excessive workloads, and onerous adult expectations. Drawing on the rich history of student resistance and school strikes, this book charts a new course for education—one that recognizes the countless hours students devote to studying for what it actually is: labour.

Informed by the victories of organized labour, feminist, and anti-racist movements, Wages for Schoolwork brings class struggle to the classroom by placing students at the center of the fight for a more just world.

The Invisible Doctrine explores the dominant ideologies, political economy, corporate power, globalization, labour history, economic inequality, consumerism, environmental issues, the climate crisis, public relations and propaganda, social alienation, and the rise of authoritarianism and fascism. The film has a depressing topic but an inspiring conclusion, describing a truly participatory democratic political system to repair the damage neoliberalism has done – a system that appeals to us as active citizens rather than consumers and our shared social, political, and environmental commons.

77th Nakba Commemoration and March

Posted April 20th, 2025

Canadian Palestinian Association of Manitoba
Saturday May 17
Gather at Noon
Legislative Building


The Nakba, which means “catastrophe” in Arabic, refers to the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. The result of the war was the permanent displacement of more than 750,000 Palestinians, more than half of the Palestinian population at that time. The Nakba commemoration is a reminder not only of those tragic events of 1948, but of the ongoing injustice suffered by the Palestinians. The Nakba had a profound impact on the Palestinian people, who lost their homes, their land, and their way of life. It remains a deeply traumatic event in their collective memory and continues to shape their struggle for justice and for their right to return to their homes. The Nakba is not just a day or date, but an ongoing process of ethnic cleansing that continues to this day. It is the genocide in Gaza, it is the violence in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
