Join us on Friday February 25th from 7pm to 9pm to celebrate the official book launch of "Feminism FOR REAL: Deconstructing the Academic Industrial Complex of Feminism" edited by Jessica Yee. National book launch dates across Canada and the United States will be announced in the coming weeks.
With an opening address from Lee Maracle, drumming by Shandra Spears-Bombay and rattle dance by DJ Danforth, this event will feature spoken... word performances and round table discussions from the book contributors, followed by a screening of "The Road Forward", dedicated to the countless First Nations women who have "disappeared" on British Columbia's "Highway of Tears". More information about "The Road Forward" here: http://www.reddiva.ca/?p=5 57
Proceeds from the evening will go to a scholarship fund created for the children of missing and murdered Aboriginal women.
Venue main area is wheelchair accessible. We regret that the washroom is not wheelchair accessible.

“I believe that ideas matter deeply in determining our future as a nation. The CCPA is one of Canada’s leading sources of progressive policy ideas. Our work is rooted in the values of social justice and environmental sustainability. It is authoritative and accessible to a broad audience. As non corporate-funded policy think tanks continue to be silenced, the importance of the Centre has never been greater.”
