Bookswap
Guys, gals, and nonbinary pals,
Do you have too many good books? Is your to be read pile staring silently at you in the corner, judging you for getting even more books when you haven’t read them yet? Do you want to share your favorite book in the world, that one you keep hoping for someone to pick up and read so you can talk to them about it, so much so you’d want to throw a book (figuratively) at someone? If so, you’re in luck!
Climate Justice Montreal is raising funds for the MAMO Premières Nations and Camp souveraineté KM 134, through a PWYC bookswap & bakesale fundraiser!
The event will take place April 4th, from 12 pm - 4 pm, at 1800 Av. Letourneux, Montréal, QC H1V 2N1
Bookswap rules: You can bring up to 8 books, and leave with as many books as you brought. Books must be in good condition! Please bring books you believe people would be interested in reading. Books can be fiction or non fiction, French or English. Suggested entry fee of 5$, but no one will be turned away from lack of funds. Please bring cash, or donate using the link bellow! https://www.gofundme.com/f/soutenez-le-camp-souverainete-defense-de-la-foret-a-km-134
Interested in helping out? We are looking for people to help bring baked goods for the bake-sale! Please email justiceclimatiquemtl@protonmail.com, and we can discuss the requirements in more details.
Please share the event with your friends! The more people that come, the better the book selection!
Camp Souveraineté, located at km 134 on the Parent Road, is a place dedicated to protecting Atikamekw Nehirowisiw Aski ancestral lands and passing on living ancestral knowledge. Guardians of the forest are building a healing and cultural center to welcome current and future generations.

All Aboard: Toward fare-free transit through research and advocacy
While grassroots organizations—expected to do everything from fundraising to policy research, to coalition-building, to political advocacy and beyond—have clear visions for how systems could change, they often lack the capacity to see those visions come to life. SHIFT’s Research and Advocacy Program (RAP) is designed to place Concordia graduate students in year-long research collaborations with community organizations designed to resource them and serve their systems-change goals.
Through power structure mapping, policy analysis, and case studies, this program has been playing a pivotal role in turning existing popular support for Climate Justice Montreal’s free, expanded, and accessible transit campaign into concrete wins. Join us for a panel with Nicolas Chevalier of Climate Justice Montreal (CJM), RAP Fellow Hope Moon, and Dr. Craig Townsend as we examine the policy steps involved in achieving the campaign’s long-term goals of a free, expanded, and accessible transit network in Montreal.
Register here or drop by if you are on campus.

Crush Car Culture with Free and Expanded Public Transit
September 3, 2024
Taking to the streets
On September 28, 2023, activists mobilized on the streets of Montreal/Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang’s Plateau in a night-time protest organized by Rage Climatique and Climate Justice Montreal, under the theme of “Crush Car Culture”.1 Posters publicizing the event called for free public transit and more transport options within the city. Two months later, Velorution Montreal mobilized at least 100 people, including organizers from Équiterre, Greenpeace, and Trajectoire Québec, to the streets downtown to protest the underfunding of public transit and the service cuts that could likely follow.2 Five days earlier, unionized workers including bus drivers, maintenance workers, and other public transport staff had similarly rallied in front of the office of so-called Quebec’s minister of transport and sustainable mobility to protest the lack of funding for public transportation in the province.3 These events are increasingly voicing demands from groups including organized labour, concerned citizens, and more radical activists, who are aligning independently yet in parallel with global movements that are drawing connections between the underfunding of essential transit services, car-dependency, and the climate crisis.4

Solidarity is a verb
May 6, 2024
Solidarity gets thrown around so freely in social movements that it often becomes a risk for it to become meaningless. Climate Justice Montreal makes a commitment to solidarity in its principles, basing in differentiated, yet similar relationships that must be centered in our work. That said, there is always a need to question statements of solidarity, as they can often be done performatively, especially if no one questions its meaning and intent.
