Our 'de-sensitization to politics' forum is coming up fast!

We can't let political, economic and climate crisis become the new state of normal!

Join us on July 4th as we build a strategy against political burn out!

#Ptbo #ClimateAction
#PovertyReduction

[YCAP Peterborough @YCAP_Ptbo]

Join us for a community talk on Thurs July 4th, to discuss why and how to stop the onset of desensitization to/normalisation of systemic issues + burn out in the activist community!

#Ptbo #onpoli #poverty #ClimateEmergency

[YCAP Peterborough @YCAP_Ptbo]

Politics can feel exhausting. With so many huge problems going on, too many of us experience burn out, and desensitization to the declining state of our politics.

We can't let systemic problems become/continue to be normal.

The #Ptbo community recognises the Day of Mourning for injured and deceased workers:

We must remember that even one worker losing their life at work, is one worker too many.

#DayOfMourning #Solidarity

[YCAP Peterborough @YCAP_Ptbo]

The Ford gov's statement today that the student walkout protests were nothing but a "union stunt", is not only untrue, it's insulting, and meant to discount/discredit the significance of independent student organising.
