Join us on Thursday November 12th in a panel on making the connections of global apartheid struggles across the world. OPIRG York is excited to present a panel of activists, scholars and writers who are working on apartheid struggles and see the various ways that the apartheid system in South Africa, Israel, Sri Lanka and here in Canada all have similarities in their oppressive tactics of control and colonialism that cannot be ignored!
