SUMMARY:Rita Wong:  "Letters to Our Loved Ones: A Writing Workshop"
DESCRIPTION:SFPIRG Rotunda Library is excited to announce the next session of our visiting author series with Rita Wong. Rita Wong grew up in Calgary\, Alberta\, and is the author of three books of poetry\, sybil unrest\, written with Larissa Lai; forage\, and monkeypuzzle as well as co-edited collection downstream: re-imagining water. Wong has won the Asian Canadian Writers Workshop Emerging Writers Award and the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize. Her work investigates social issues and ecology. She lives in Vancouver and is an associate professor in critical and cultural studies at Emily Carr University of Art and Design.\n\nIt is human to feel grief when we see places we loved being sacrificed\, as we see happening on Burnaby Mountain. Ecological grief is a global condition\, which we experience in specific locations as we see trees clearcut and streams poisoned by industrial projects like the TransMountain pipeline expansion. Rita Wong will introduce the 1308 Trees project\, a collection of letters written to some of the thousands of trees that have been  killed for the pipeline expansion\, at the very time when we needed more trees\, not less. She will invite workshop participants to write their own letters and poems or to make offerings for their beloved more-than-human relatives: the trees\, the hummingbirds\, the creeks\, the salmon\, the orca\, the nooksack dace\, and more\, all of whom are losing their lives and/or homes to the pipeline expansion. Acknowledging the grief\, voicing it\, is a step in processing it\, and finding ways to transform it into collective action\, to honour the lives that have been lost and continue to be threatened\, including our own.\n\nWe will announce a full list of accessibility considerations once we are sure which location we will be using for this event.\n\n\nSFPIRG will provide all physical writing supplies. we do encourage folks to handwrite for this workshop\, but if typing is more accessible please bring your own tablet or laptop.\nWe will provide a variety of different seating options for the many types\, accessibility needs\, and shapes of bodies present.\nWe re not able to provide ASL interpretation for this event

SUMMARY:Gender & Sexuality Learning Series :  Critical Vocabulary on sex\, gender\, and sexuality
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a workshop series over the fall to unpack key languages that we use in our writing\, research\, and dialogues of academia on topics of gender and sexuality.  To register for this series (which you can join in full or by session)\, please fill out this form! \n\nThese events will take place bi-weekly online beginning on Thursday\, September 14 from 1-2:30pm  \n\nIn these workshop\, we’ll have the chance to explore the nuances of terms and deepen our understanding of them. We’ll also discover how language can both reflect and shape our attitudes towards sex\, gender\, and sexuality\, and explore ways to use more inclusive language in our lives. Topics include: critical vocabulary of sexuality and gender\, the question of agency\, rethinking sex\, portrayals of sex and sexuality on-screen\, and capitalism and sexuality. Please find the dates and sign up for the sessions you are interested in below.\n\nAbout your Facilitator:\nWe have these sessions run by our Co-Director of Research and Education\, Hannah\, who holds a Masters’ Degree in Gender\, Sexuality\, and Women’s Studies from SFU. She thrives on community work and on various ways in which she can support and care for the members of SFPIRG. Having been a teacher for over ten years\, Hannah loves to organize events and facilitate workshops for students in order to help them find calm in a chaotic world and resist the systems that actively oppress our bodies. She loves to find new ways to practice self-care and active rest both for herself and for practicing it with the community.\n\n\n\nThank you wanting to join us for this important discussion!

SUMMARY:No Cops on Campus Open House
DESCRIPTION:Join members of the coalition No Cops on Campus to learn more about the work they are doing this fall! Members will be available to talk about organising they have done so far\, plans for the coming term\, and how you can get involved! We will be serving light snacks and beverages\, as well as making buttons! Please fill out this form to register (this is a drop in event\, but we need to know how many snacks to plan for!) \nAbout No Cops on Campus \nNo Cops on Campus (NCoC) is a collective of students and staff from across SFU campuses with a shared goal of growing\, dreaming\, and advocating for something beyond a status quo that relies on policing and security. \nSFU relies on security largely because of a misunderstanding that colonial policing is the only way to keep people “safe” on campus. Yet\, this form of safety does not extend to those who are traditionally targeted by policing systems including BIPOC communities\, Muslim peoples\, disabled peoples\, queer peoples\, and low income or houseless community members. We support and encourage those within educational institutions who are imagining futures with non-violent and inclusive community safety instead. Our work is built on decades of work by students across North America who similarly push for the implementation of these life-affirming alternatives to policing. \nWe as a student and workers collective are working toward the elimination of police and policing presence on all SFU campuses. \nAccessibility Considerations: \n\nour office is located near the elevator in the Students’ Union Building\nour door is wide enough to accommodate most mobility aids\nwe have a wide variety of seating available for many body types\nwe only use lamps in our space so those sensitive to overhead lighting can enjoy their time with us\nalthough we are interested in engaging in challenging conversation around police\, prison\, and abolition we will not tolerate abusive or condescending behaviour in our space. You will be asked to leave the space during the event if you are making our guests feel uncomfortable.\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:What to do about wellness checks : Are Mental Health Professionals the Best Alternative to Police “Wellness Checks”?
DESCRIPTION:Join SFPIRG for a workshop series that will explore the violent reality of police “wellness checks” and our current social responses to people experiencing mental health crises. Through this series\, we will build an understanding of police violence when responding to people in crisis\, proposed psychiatric responses as alternatives to police\, and also start to explore possible alternatives. \nThese online sessions are free and open to anyone. Feel free to attend any or all three offerings. \nMany of us are aware that when the police conduct “wellness checks” or otherwise engage with people experiencing mental health crisis\, all too often they end up killing or violently assaulting the person in need of care. A commonly proposed and practiced solution is that mental health professionals\, with or without an accompanying police officer\, should replace an exclusive reliance on the police\, and that psychiatric care is what is needed. Let’s explore these proposed solutions\, and consider whether there might in fact be a better option if our goal is to promote safety\, healing and mental wellbeing for all. \nRegister for this session here.

SUMMARY:What to do about wellness checks : Peer Support\, Mutual Aid and Community-Based Organized Care as Alternatives to both Police “Wellness Checks” and the Mental Health System
DESCRIPTION:Join SFPIRG for a workshop series that will explore the violent reality of police “wellness checks” and our current social responses to people experiencing mental health crises. Through this series\, we will build an understanding of police violence when responding to people in crisis\, proposed psychiatric responses as alternatives to police\, and also start to explore possible alternatives. \nWe have been discussing the problems with both police “wellness checks” and with the mental health system as it is presently. There is no question that people in mental health crisis need support. But what kind? And who can provide it? Can we build alternative sources of support\, and are there ways that we could shape our society to help more people avoid entering into crisis in the first place? These are some of the questions we will explore in this workshop\, while also looking at possible alternative approaches and discussing what might be possible here. \nRegister for this session here.

SUMMARY:Fee Refunds - Spring 2024
DESCRIPTION:SFPIRG is a student-funded non-profit organization\, autonomous from both the University and the Student Society. We receive $3 each semester from each full time student and $1.50 from each part time student. Following a successful graduate student referendum in Spring 2020\, as of the Fall 2023 semester\, we received $6.13 from full-time graduate students and $3.07 from part-time graduate students. Therefore\, after paying their student fees\, all students are members of SFPIRG and can use the resources available through our centre. Non-students can also become associate members of SFPIRG and get involved with us. \nWe realize that not everyone shares SFPIRG’s values\, so each semester we offer students the ability to revoke their membership. If you would like to opt-out\, bring your student card\, proof of payment & registration for the semester some time during the dates and times listed below. Once you opt-out\, you are no longer a member of SFPIRG and will not be eligible to use the organization’s resources and services. \nTo Opt Out: \nFee Refund Week occurs between January 31 – February 8. \n\nFee Refunds will be processed digitally in Spring 2024 for the protection of our communities.\nEmail admin@sfpirg.ca to opt out of membership and receive a fee refund no later than 11.59pm on Feb 15th.
