Presented by the Social Justice Co-operative NL and MUN Climate Action Coalition. As greenhouse gas emissions warm and acidify our oceans, the ecosystem they hold is adapting and changing. While some species can thrive in the new conditions, others are dying out or migrating north to colder waters. How is this climate change impacting our fisheries?

Our Vision: Text Revolution of Care Manifesto The struggle against patriarchy, white supremacy, colonialism, imperialism, climate change, and our corrupt economic system can feel overwhelming. It’s not a struggle we can take on alone. That’s why the Social Justice Co-operative is building a grassroots movement centred on creating caring communities and fostering friendships between activists based on caring for each other. We believe in the dignity and value of every human being. We call this movement a “Revolution of Care” because revolutionary care is the antidote to capitalism, and it is capitalism that has made our society sick. Where capitalism relies on greed to function, the antidote must be generosity. Where capitalism relies on individualism, the antidote must be community. By capitalism, we mean the global intersecting systems of oppression that impoverish billions to make a handful of people rich, the systems that co-opt democracy to protect the rich, and the systems that make all of us complicit in the destructive exploitation of our land, water, and communities in the service of profits for the rich. Our affluence in Canada is built off of poverty here and elsewhere. We do not live in isolation. Our local choices affect lives internationally. All beings on earth, human and non-human are linked in a web of relation. Click here to read our Strategic Compass for 2021 Our Vision: Text Care, like capitalism, can be applied as a way of life, as a system to uphold rule in society and our communities, and as a guideline by which all decisions are made. Capitalism encourages taking advantage of every situation for personal gain, focusing our attention inward, and creating a competition out of life itself. Revolutionary care encourages the exact opposite: to seek to provide for the needs of all those around us, in every situation, creating a sense of community and belonging. Revolutionary care uses empathy as a means of knowledge and understanding; this knowledge is the basis for all decisions, with the ultimate goal of meeting the needs of all. Where capitalism applies value to how much an individual can take, the revolution of care calls for our values to be shifted based on how much care one gives back to their community and each other. Where individual wealth is multiplied by the greed of capitalism, collective wealth is multiplied under the revolution where care is placed as the centre. Revolutionary care, when applied on a larger scale, has the potential to collapse hierarchies by giving consideration and a voice to all. It prevents the elevation of the few above the many by illuminating our world with the views and emotions of those around us, creating empathy, and, ultimately, generosity. It elevates the importance of the community as a whole creating a sense of belonging and trust. It decentralizes decision making by creating fluid governance based on current needs and giving space to all who wish to participate. Revolutionary care has the potential to crumble capitalism by creating communities that care for their people rather than their profits. The SJC intends to grow this movement, and spread the Revolution of Care as a way of organizing, a way of decision making, and as a way of life. Our Vision: Text A “Revolution of Care” means reclaiming care, by building a movement centered on compassion and kindness that gives space to heal, learn, and grow. By strengthening relationships and ensuring that everyone feels welcome, we are connecting community members and shaping our own system, one that can end the exploitation of people and the destruction of thriving ecosystems for profit and build communities where everyone feels loved and respected. Therefore, the Social Justice Co-operative commits to the following principles of revolutionary care: - ensure anti-racist decolonization; -- anti-racist decolonization, at its very core, is a care building movement based on Indigenous feminism which includes radical love and acceptance. Indigenous feminism places care at the centre of decision making and ensures that all community members have their physical, spiritual and emotional needs met; - radical inclusivity: everyone is given an equal opportunity to join our movement by addressing barriers; creating welcoming environments, especially for members of traditionally marginalized and neglected groups; -- a revolution of care requires us to have patience for all people as they learn and make mistakes; -- recognize that we have all been socialized in inherently racist, classist, sexist, cis-heteronormative and ableist systems and that it takes time and patience to understand and unpack this socialization; - all voices are heard, marginalized and most impacted voices are amplified, and all experiences are valued and considered; - a collaborative, cooperative, consensus-based, decentralized approach to decision-making; - intentional relationship and community building, recognizing the need for social spaces in addition to organizing spaces; - promotion of worker-owned co-operatives, a strong union movement, and international worker solidarity; - intentional care for all of humanity, our environment, and the other species with whom we share the earth by resisting wasteful, hazardous, and unsustainable patterns of consumption and destruction; - intersectional approach to a just transition from an extraction economy to a society that cares for the land and for each other. Our Vision: Text The Revolution of Care is a journey and as we grow and learn, we continue to reflect on how we can better serve the movement. Hence, this is a living manifesto, to be built and expanded on as our revolution grows. Our Vision: Text

Challenging Car Culture: Welcome Challenging Car Culture: About Us A Bit About Us We advocate for accessible and active transportation, and for free, sustainable mass transit. We challenge the idea that cars are the default way to get around. Join the #ChallengeCarCulture Coalition and #ThinkOutsideTheCar with us. Private vehicles are not our future, and they do not serve our planet or our communities. While they've come to be thought of as the default way to get around, this hasn't been the case for most of human history and it's pretty obvious who's benefiting...the automobile and petro industries! We can do better. We can move as a community with free, accessible, public transit, and walkable, bikable, rollable neighbourhoods. Say Hi @ Our Monthly Meeting! Join us on Zoom on the 1st Monday of each month from 5:30-7pm NT for our monthly general meeting. All are welcome! Email us for the meeting link. Connect with CCC re: meetings Challenging Car Culture: Text Pop Up Crossing Guards A proactive response to pedestrian safety concerns: Challenge Car Culture members host "Pop Up Crossing Guard'' events around St. John’s. This initiative, launched early in 2023, sees volunteers hit the streets to help pedestrians cross safely, foster positive community interactions, and draw attention to the follies and dangers of car centric culture and neighborhoods. Equipped with high visibility vests and homemade stop signs, Challenge Car Culture volunteers pop up in areas known for their lack of safe crossings or stressful pedestrian experiences. Our first event took place at the junction of Military Road, Bonaventure Avenue, and Garrison Hill, helping people navigate the triangular crosswalks, where motorists often fail to stop appropriately. The second pop-up was during the NL Folk Festival, where the team set up at the intersection of Military Avenue and Bannerman Road, ensuring festival attendees could navigate the area safely. Reception from the community has been resoundingly favorable, with pedestrians expressing gratitude for the increased safety and reduced anxiety experienced during the pop-ups. The homemade stop signs have proven to be particularly effective, catching the attention of drivers and facilitating smoother interactions between pedestrians and motorists. Challenge Car Culture's Pop Up Crossing Guard initiative represents a practical approach to fostering people-centered neighborhoods, making a tangible difference in pedestrian safety and challenging the prevailing car-centric culture. Would you like to see us at a crosswalk or intersection near you, or join us on the streets for a pop-up? Don’t hesitate to get in touch. Connect with CCC re: Crossing Guards Wheatpasting Challenge Car Culture is all about action with a creative twist. Our recurring "wheat-pasting" events are a creative way to challenge car culture and nudge people toward alternative thinking – all while having a good time. Armed with impactful posters and a sense of camaraderie, Challenge Car Culture members hit the streets, transforming dull walls into thought-provoking canvases. These posters disrupt the status quo, urging folks to reconsider their car-centric habits and explore more eco-friendly ways to get around. But it's not just about serious messages – these events are also about fun. Laughter fills the air as posters go up, creating a sense of community and shared purpose. The process itself becomes a statement, showing that change can be enjoyable and engaging. Challenge Car Culture's wheat-pasting events serve a dual purpose: they spark conversations and actions while also injecting a dose of enjoyment into activism. So, keep an eye out for our posters – they're more than decorations, they're invitations to join a movement that's steering us toward a more sustainable future, one paste-up at a time. Want to join us next time? Please get in touch. We’d love to hear from you Connect with CCC re: Wheatpasting Near Hits Project We want to hear from people who have been nearly hit while walking, cycling, using a mobility aid, or pushing a stroller. We are building a map of areas, and a list of issues, that are dangerous for non-motorist and need to be addressed.

Share your Sick of the Slip Story Challenging Car Culture: Pro Gallery Advocating for Accessibility On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Dec 3rd, 2020, we gathered in honour of those who have been injured or killed trying to navigate our inaccessible, dangerous sidewalks. We gathered to bear witness for those who are isolated in their homes for half of the year, every year, due to negligent sidewalk clearing. Access is a right not a privilege and our city is failing to safeguard the rights of People with Disabilities in even the simplest, most basic ways. We gathered with three asks: 1. Clear our sidewalks with the same priority as adjoining streets. 2. Use a Universal Design approach in all further developments, including the Kelly's Brook Shared Use Path: consult Universal Design experts and community members with diverse lived experiences and accessibility concerns. 3. Reverse the recent cuts to Metrobus. (We won this one!) Advocating for Accessibile Sidewalks! We Demand Safety!

Running Down The Walls Join community members on October 15th at 2-5pm NT for the first ever St John’s Running Down the Walls fun 5k run/jog/walk/strut/roll. Bring $10 to participate or fundraise a minimum of $10. There will be water and snacks for all participants! Event starts at 2pm NT at the Correcti ons Wellness Garden, 89 Forest Road. The route takes us down past Dominion, along the near side of Quidi Vidi Lake , and back up throu gh Quidi Vidi Village and along Forest Road to end at the same Corrections Wellness Garden. Social to follow from 5pm-8pm at the Benevolent Irish Society (30 Harvey Rd). Featuring pizza & snacks, and a cash bar. Let us know when if there is anything we can do to make participation more accessible for you. For example, we can help with bus fare, or if you need transportation between the run location and the social we can ask a volunteer to give you a ride. Email RunningDownTheWallsNL@gmail.com with q uestions or accessibility concerns. Running Down the Walls is an annual event he ld in cities across the US and Canada every year in September or October. It is a non-competitive 5k run/jog/walk/strut/roll that is used to raise awareness and funds for prisoners, especially political prisoners, across the continent . It involves people running simultaneously in many cities and in many prisons at once. Running together is actually a big component of Running Down the Walls. The solidarity shown across cities illustrates, through several small collective actions, that we have not forgotten those locked up inside. Runs inside of prisons happen to both help politicise other prisoners and to illustrate that our acts of solidarity outside have been heard. Half of the funds raised at the first ever St John’s Running Down the Walls event will go to the Anarchist Black Cross Federation (ABCF) Warchest Program . This money is used to assist prisoners, especially elder prisoners, who have little or no financial support by giving them a monthly check. $50 will go toward the NL based Prison Pen Pal Project , to cover the cost of postage and materials associated with writing letters to incarcerated community members. The remainder will go to the East Coast Prison Justice Society (ECJPS), a hub for prison justice advocacy on the East Coast of Canada. The ECJPS is a collaboration of individuals and organisations working to advance social justice through advocacy focused on the rights and interests of criminalised and imprisoned people. So bring $10 or fundraise even more than that, bring your most fabulous shoes, and join us on October 15th at 2pm NT t o run/walk/roll together in solidarity with those who are caged and help us build advocacy for prisoners here in Newfoundland and Labrador.
