Mutual Aid & Building Solidarity: Discussions in Community

The Northwestern Ontario Women’s Centre is hosting our 4th annual Think Tank series as part of the Analysis to Action on Gender-Based Violence Project. We aim to bring together women’s organizations, advocates, and community members to share knowledge, build analysis, and unite for action around issues relating to gender-based violence in Thunder Bay and the region.

We're hosting a virtual panelist discussion on Wednesday, November 23rd from 1 – 3PM (EST) *time subject to change*. Our focus is on learning about mutual aid and transformative justice approaches to preventing and responding to gender-based violence.
