About this Event

Join us for the launch of . Scholars and activists take Canada's 2022 "Freedom Convoy" as a recent manifestation of deep-rooted extremism and provide intersectional commentary on the resurgence of the political right, demonstrating how its ideology permeates and shapes the structures of our society.


With evidence-based research, and careful analysis of the genesis and methods of the right, contributors to this volume model pathways of resistance and charge us with our most urgent collective tasks: finding ways to work together, building coalitions in civil society, and exposing and countering the regressive forces that spew hate.


This venue is wheelchair accessible and has gender neutral, wheelchair accessible washrooms. For requests, please email [email protected]


Mayworks Festival is a community-based festival which annually presents new works by a diverse and broad range of artists, who are both workers and activists. The programming presents bold, insightful, responses to pressing issues at the intersection of art, social justice and labour. .
