Hi, all! So, this is very URGENT, as discussed at yesterday's WGSCC Committee meeting re: SSHRC application. I am attaching a word doc pitch, which I will send (and properly configure) to all suggested ROUNDTABLE speakers. Note, too, that I will attach a proper letterhead, poster and general "ABOUT US" piece as a PDF alongside the request. *PLEASE SUGGEST CHANGES, RHONDA AND JIM M., ESPECIALLY! :-)* What's more, below (in the body of this email), please take note of the following email addresses, which, if need correcting, please do let me know! To that end, note that I haven't a current address for Jerry Woods (his old MB Human Rights Commission email is no longer receivable on his end), but I will be able to acquire said later today for close acquaintances. *Further, I still require a contact name re: IRON & EARTH (ALBERTA). Can you help, Jeff T.?* ALSO, please do indicate from the list below if you are able to do personal phone call or email follow-up with friends/colleagues that you know well — this after my initial email request of roundtable speakers this afternoon. (I would recommend that you begin contacting your personal connections either this late afternoon or tomorrow, certainly.) FYI, the following has been agreed upon (so far) re: follow-ups: *KRISHNA: Pam Palmater, Jerry Woods, Bilan Arte, Alia Karim* *PAUL MOIST: Victor Elkins, Fred Hahn* All my best for now! Hope to send all invites by noon, with follow-ups thereafter — and surely at least till Wednesday, as agreed, re: Rhonda and Jim M's request. KL 204.899.8687 ++++++++++ *1.

I write to you on behalf of the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike Centenary Conference Committee, which proudly hosts *THE 1919 WINNIPEG GENERAL STRIKE CENTENARY CONFERENCE (WGSCC): BUILDING A BETTER WORLD from May 9-11, 2019 in Winnipeg, Manitoba.* As you know, the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 was a landmark moment in North American working-class history. In May and June that year, over 30,000 workers ceased work for six weeks. Provoked by the inequities of industrial capitalism, the authoritarianism of their workplaces, the brutal experiences of the First World War, rising prices and stagnating wages, an insecure economic outlook, intransigent employers, and a federal state that responded to their demands with growing repression, the city’s workers stood together in an astounding display of unity. This was also an era filled with hope; the horrors of industrialization and militarism encouraged many to think of ways of constructing a better world. The combination of anger and hope was infectious. In 1919, Winnipeg workers displayed an inspiring unity, facing hunger, threats of permanent dismissal and blacklisting, and violence at the hands of authorities, most notably in the vicious assault they unleashed on “Bloody Saturday,” killing two workers and injuring many more. A century later, the WGSCC Committee seeks to commemorate, honour and better understand these events by way of this historical conference gathering of approximately 200 activists, organizers, scholars, trade unionists and social justice and labour rights advocates from across Canada and beyond. Over the course of three themed days (May 9-11, 2019), WGSCC delegates will participate in concurrent sessions led by several invited conference paper presenters — *with each day concluding with a PLENARY/ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION led by three-to-five solicited speakers, whose experiences, expertise and prolific work in the area of labour rights and related social justice movements and scholarship remains significant.* *To that end, the WCSCC Committee invites you to participate as a WGSCC ROUNDTABLE SPEAKER in one of three plenary sessions planned within our conference’s program schedule, which is arranged under the following themes:* 1. Poverty and the Fight for a Material Existence: The Fight for a Better Life — May 9, 2019 2. Building an Inclusive Labour Movement: Solidarity Across Boundaries — May 10, 2019 3. Labour as a Social Force & Political Leader: A Working-Class Alternative — May 11, 2019 *Specifically, we invite you to participate as a WGSCC ROUNDTABLE SPEAKER on:* <INSERT THEME> While the WGSCC Committee recognizes that our event takes place more than a year from this initial writing,* your quick and positive response to this invitation will certainly help in our overall logistical conference planning and the arrangement of your needs as a WGSCC ROUNDTABLE SPEAKER.* *What’s more, please note that our fundraising efforts and other supports and partnerships will more-than-likely allow for your full travel and accommodation expenses, although we do ask that you request funding from your representative organizations where applicable and possible. * Together with the assistance from organizations and public institutions like the Canadian Committee on Labour History (CCLH); the Canadian Association for Work and Labour Studies (CAWLS); Faculties of Arts at Brandon University, the University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg; the Manitoba Federation of Labour (MFL); and the Winnipeg Labour Council (WLC) we hope to receive you as a WGSCC ROUNDTABLE SPEAKER in respect of this unique and critical event in the history of Canadian labour rights activism and human rights and anti-poverty advocacy. Note, too, that the WGSCC Committee is actively securing the participation of one or more renowned and prominent keynote speakers, which, together with a host of other conference activities, promises to make our 1919 commemorative efforts a fantastic draw for the whole of Winnipeg and Canada, altogether! Again, the WGSCC Committee looks forward to your positive and quick response to this request and is available to answer any questions you may have! To this end, please connect with: Jim Naylor WGSCC Committee Chair 204.727.9644 (office) 204.720.2117 (cell) Naylor(a)BrandonU.ca Please do survey our current WGSCC website for further information: 1919-2019.com Follow us on Facebook, too: facebook.com/1919WinnipegGeneralStrikeConference/ In Solidarity! Krishna Lalbiharie WGSCC Committee Member 204.899.8687 krishna.lalbiharie(a)gmail.com *WGSCC ROUNDTABLE THEMES* *1. Poverty and the Fight for a Material Existence: The Fight for a Better Life — May 9, 2019* Just as workers in 1919 sought to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty and win a fairer share of the fruits of economic growth, 21st-century workers are facing worsening material conditions: stagnating wages and increasing precarious employment, along with cuts to social services that increase demands upon working-class families. The “Fight for 15,” struggles for family supports such as child care, and the rise of antipoverty movements are at the forefront of today’s organizing, reflecting the ways in which neoliberalism has forced the fight for a living wage and a working-class economic security onto centre stage. *2. Building an Inclusive Labour Movement: Solidarity Across Boundaries — May 10, 2019* A century ago, Winnipeg was a divided city – not only along the lines of class, but workers were, themselves, divided along lines of race and ethnicity. A capitalist labour market pitted “British Canadian” and “immigrant” workers against each other; the First World War heightened fears of the “foreigners,” and the economic insecurity that faced returning soldiers at the end of the war led, on occasion, to confrontations on the streets of Winnipeg. Amazingly, attempts by employers to use bigotry to divide the city’s strikers failed. Today, governments and businesses use international borders, an exclusionary “citizenship” which often denies workers from abroad a range of social and labour rights, and post 9/11 xenophobia, to ensure their control over labour. The lessons of overcoming these divisions and fighting for common, expanded rights, are as central today as they were then, and include a growing understanding of the rights of Indigenous people as First Peoples and as workers. *3. Labour as a Social Force & Political Leader: A Working-Class Alternative — May 11, 2019* The Winnipeg General Strike was part of a continent-wide, even an international, labour revolt that saw unions, mass strikes and working-class parties act in their own name. In Winnipeg, despite the defeat of the strike, socialist and labour parties continued the fight by other means. This was an era in which labour was the voice of the dispossessed; if there was a solution to the problems that capitalism brought, it was represented by labour. In the 21st century, a wide range of social movements address issues that were often unimagined a century ago. Building an effective response to a wide range of assaults on the environment, and in defence of Indigenous rights, gender rights, on the rights of the disabled, and so much more, requires education, organizing, and mobilization. To what extent are these class issues that labour needs to centrally address? Can labour lead in building a better world in which all forms of oppression and exploitation are fought?

FW: 2019 speaking event

Here is the CCPA request. Please add this to your agendas. julie From: Molly McCracken [mailto:molly.mccracken@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2018 10:40 AM To: Julie Guard Cc: Ellen Smirl Subject: Re: 2019 speaking event Hi Julie I hope this email does not come too late for the committee meeting. I spoke with Jason Hooper last week. Upon reflection, I changed what I suggested to you earlier regarding possible CCPA MB involvement to the following: Would the committee and WECC be supportive of a third event with Bragg where he speaks at Knox Church? We could have an interesting format, perhaps interview style with a prominent Winnipegger. I understand Bragg is a good speaker and has done this type of thing before. I suggested this to Jason and he said he'd think about it and talk to the committee.

Billy Bragg will be fantastic. His name came up when we met on the collaboration between the 1919 Strike Committee and CCPA MB at the Good Will back in the summer. I'm suggesting that it be explored that the public event be held at a larger venue, Knox. WECC will sell out very quickly for Bragg. It sounds like the conference committee wants to hold the event for conference attendees at the Labour Temple, which makes a lot of sense to me. I'd like to just float the idea by Jason to see what he thinks. It sounds like the Billy Bragg events are taking precedence so I'd like to explore CCPA's involvement. Thanks Molly On Tue, Mar 6, 2018 at 3:51 PM, Julie Guard <Julie.Guard(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Julie.Guard@umanitoba.ca>> wrote: Hi Ellen: I will pass that suggestion on to the committee. I know the group was quite intent on getting the Labour Temple for the evening, and we have had to negotiate with the Labour Council to get it, but we can certainly add it to the agenda of our next meeting.

It sounds like the Labour Temple is for the conference attendees, but would there be a possibility to bring Billy to Knox United rather than WECC to draw a bigger crowd? CCPA would love to be able to support this event if possible, and if so, Molly suggested she could speak to Jason about how CCPA could partner in hosting a larger event. I’m going to cc Molly here so she can be part of this conversation.

Jason from WECC came to our last meeting, and my understanding is that he is working on setting up two events, one at the Labour Temple for the conference and another at the WECC. I regret to tell you that we neglected to discuss the role of the CCPA. It just slipped by us, but I don’t think the opportunity has disappeared. Our understanding is that the conference would engage him, if he is available and will come, to perform, as would the WECC. So if we can either singly or jointly arrange a speaking engagement, that should still be possible. Do you want to discuss that with the Steering Committee? julie From: Ellen Smirl [mailto:ellen@policyalternatives.ca] Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2018 2:37 PM To: Julie Guard Subject: 2019 speaking event Hi Julie, I just wanted to touch base to see where we are at in terms of the 2019 event. Unfortunately my notes on our meeting are not very clear (note to self: take better meeting notes!) but I do remember that we were supposed to receive some sort of confirmation from U of M organizing committee about feedback on the idea of bringing in a speaker. I think we were also tossing the idea around about music as well (Billy Bragg). And is there any support that CCPA can give you at this time?
