>Ryerson joined the Ontario Common Front last week and are planning, in
>conjunction with our campus radio station CKLN 88.1FM, an activist fair with
>on-campus, live broadcasts from the demonstrations in the financial
>district.
>
>It will be a political space and a safe space for those who otherwise cannot
>participate in the economic disruption (it is meant to complement the
>actions).  It is also an opportunity to share information with students on
>our campus - over 15,000 full-timers who will pass by!
>
>We are planning this activist fair and we invite all progressive
>organizations to attend, set up tables, and bring information relevant to
>the Ontario-wide campaign to challenge the Harris governement and its
>regressive policies.  Whether its housing, poverty and welfare, workers'
>rights, First Nations rights, our environment, queer liberation, safe water
>or education, we want to have a huge fair that highlights the need for
>dramatic and real change in our province.
>
>Please contact Alex Lisman at Ryerson (contact info below) if your
>organization wants to be involved.
>
>PLEASE PASS THIS ON IF YOU KNOW (AN) ORGANIZATION(S) THAT WOULD BE
>INTERESTED!
