For any of my Edmonton friends in the labour movement, here is a workshop you should attend on Friday night."Join Victoria folk musician and labour organizer Peter Janz for a special Edmonton labour songs workshop. No musical experience is necessary and you are invited to bring and instrument, but your voice is enough. This interactive workshop has been presented to labour leaders in Victoria and is refined by experience on "hard and soft" pickets on Vancouver Island.Learn about the power of song through the history of the labour movement and how singing can add an element of fun, theatre, and performance to your next picket or labour action. Music is a great way to bring public attention as well as media coverage to your events. It can help build morale and momentum, spreading positivity and building solidarity."https://www.michaeljanz.ca/labour_songs_workshop#yeg #union #unionstrong #solidarity #labour #music
@ned @dragonfrog Actually, I'm dumb. Clicking through to the "safer streets" page on Maggay's site, she is actually using the term correctly and calls for, amongst other things, "investing in reliable public transit, safe cycling infrastructure, and walkable communities."https://www.rajahmaggay.ca/blogs/building-safer-streets-one-neighbourhood-at-a-time
