RPIRG is inviting its members to join the Annual General Meeting and two more workshops over the next few days

 

AGM and Workers Rights Workshops on Sept 22nd

RPIRG’s ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING is here. Join us on September 22nd at 2-4pm through Zoom to hear updates from RPIRG’s staff and board and vote on important motions which direct our work throughout the year.

Following our AGM, stick around for an informative “Worker Rights Workshop,” co-presented with the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour which is designed to help students and community members to learn about the rights in the workplace. The attendees will learn about three main rights at their jobs; rights to know; rights to participate and rights to refuse. This workshop is designed for people who are already working but also about to start working.

Bystander Intervention in Public Places Training on Oct 1st

Join Regina Public Interest Research Group for a webinar facilitated by Hollaback on October 1st at 4:30 pm CST! We all have a responsibility to do something when we see street harassment happening, but too often we freeze. We don’t know what to do. Bystander intervention gives us tools to intervene without compromising our own safety. When we intervene, we don’t just reduce trauma for the person being street harassed. We also start to chip away at the culture that allows harassment to be so prevalent.  Alone we can’t shift the culture — but together — our actions matter.In this training our goal is to give participants the tools to intervene the next time they witness harassment in public spaces.

We will equip you with the right information on how to be an effective bystander in the midst of public space harassment using our proven 5D’s methodology, our five strategies for intervention. Then we will practice so you leave our training feeling more prepared to successfully and safely intervene
