5. Sunday, Sept. 27th – Radical Walking Tour of Kingston
Meet at the Grey House for a guided radical walking tour of downtown Kingston. This tour is designed to uncover Kingston’s function in the military economy, the prison-industrial complex, and the public-private corporate nexus housed at Queen’s University and downtown. The tour will also bring to light some of the stories of marginalized folks including Kingston’s black, Jewish, and queer communities. It will point to a few inspiring examples of resistance that have all in their own way fought for a different and better Kingston, one that is anti-oppressive, pro-community and pro-autonomy. Spend an hour familiarizing with Kingston’s history, sites, sounds, joys, and concerns.
12pm, meet at Greyhouse, 51 Bader Lane. Free!
6. Sunday September 27th – Really Really Free Market
