Join Fernwood Publishing and El Jones for a symposium on policing and prison justice: The Abolitionist Intimacies Symposium.

Abolitionist Intimacies was published in November 2022, born from over a decade of work supporting and advocating for incarcerated people. We invite you to a national symposium to celebrate and grow the work of El and other activists and authors on this topic. We aim to bring together a group of people doing crucial organizing and thinking on various aspects of abolition and prison justice across so-called Canada. The events will be open to the public, with limited registration, centring the voices of people who are working on aspects of abolition from transformative justice to legal strategies to Indigenous-led grassroots mobilizations.

June 29-July 1, 2024
Kjipuktuk (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

Registration opens April 2024. More details coming soon.

Unions and trade agencies say a new report by the YWCA Halifax that highlights widespread sexual harassment in the skilled trades underscores the importance of ongoing work to bring gender equity to the sector.

The recently released report says an overwhelming majority of female and gender-diverse tradespeople have been harassed at work, typically by men in positions of power. This harassment is driving women away from the skilled trades, and industry leaders need to commit to changing workplace culture, or risk floundering in an ongoing worker shortage.
