Constantly posting about injustices and wishing you could do more? Wanting to get involved in community or movement spaces\, but feeling held back by impostor syndrome or uncertainty about where you fit in?  \nJoin Embark Sustainability for our third annual Organizers’ Bootcamp\, a three-day program featuring six hands-on workshops led by experienced local organizers! This bootcamp is especially intended to support students and community members\, particularly marginalized and racialized folks\, who want to build the knowledge\, skills\, and relationships needed to create lasting change. \nOrganizing is how we build collective power\, challenge systems of oppression\, and create meaningful change in our communities. Grounded in political education\, practical skill-building\, and movement sustainability\, this bootcamp explores what organizing actually is\, how power operates within institutions\, and how successful campaigns and lasting movements are built. Get ready to learn: \n\n\n\nPolitical grounding \nMovement memory\nCampaign strategy\nSustainable organizing practices\nCoalition building\nCollective care\nAccountability systems\n\n\n\nOur organizing principles is informed by lessons from marginalized communities and successful student-led campaigns at SFU\, including the movements to retire SFU’s racially harmful team name\, the multi-million-dollar fossil fuel divestment campaign\, Black student organizing that secured 15 Black faculty hires\, expanded Black mental health supports\, and the creation of the Black Student Centre\, Palestinian solidarity organizing that established the first B.C. student union BDS policy\, and community campaigns such as Save Our Spaces. \nAcross three days\, participants will move from understanding organizing and power\, to developing campaign strategy\, to learning how to build resilient movements that can sustain themselves over time. You’ll leave with practical organizing tools\, a stronger understanding of how change happens\, and a community of fellow organizers committed to justice and liberation. \nWhether you’re just getting started or already active in movement spaces\, this bootcamp is a place to learn\, connect\, and strengthen our collective capacity to organize for a more just future. \n  \nThemes\n\n\n\nMonday\, July 27 → Understanding Organizing & Power: Political Grounding\, Confidence & Movement Memory\nTuesday\, July 28 → Turning Ideas into Change: Strategy\, Power Mapping & Action\nWednesday\, July 29→ Building Movements That Last: Solidarity\, Collective Care & Movement Sustainability\n\n\n\n*Light breakfast\, snacks\, tea/coffee will be provided daily. \n  \nSchedule\n\n\n\n🌱 Arrival & Grounding | 11:00–11:30 AM \n\nCheck in\, settle\, grab a provided light breakfast\, and ease into the day \n\n\n🗣️ Reflection & Community Input | 11:30 AM–12:00 PM \n\nAnonymous question and input box\, and collective reflections\n\n\n 📖 Session I | 12:00–2:00 PM ☕ \n\nRest & Recharge | 2:00–3:00 PM Lunch\, break\, and community connection \n\n\n🤝 Session II | 3:00–5:00 PM\n\n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Land Acknowledgement\nThis program takes place on the unceded homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish)\, səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh)\, and kʷikʷəƛw̓əm (Kwikwetlem) Nations. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				REGISTRATION\nPlease note that this program has a limited capacity of 40 participants.

He prioritizes building solidarities across organizing spaces and issues while also deepening our collective understanding of structural power. \n \n  \n\n\nDay 1 Workshop: Our Collective Responsibility to Organize\nThis workshop intends to build confidence among grassroots organizers in initiating and engaging in collective action. Organizing communities continue to work to improve their organizing practices\, deal with tensions in political organizing and facilitate collective education to understand systemic power. However\, these efforts are not checklists or requirements to engage in collective action. Instead\, this workshop creates space for dialogue between new and more experienced organizers\, strengthening the collective capacity of movements working toward collective liberation. \n  \n\n  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Serena Bains (they/them) & Marie Haddad (she/her)\n				  \n\n \nMeet Serena\nSerena is a Punjabi\, disabled\, queer settler and Director of Development at Embark Sustainability. As a co-founder of the SFU Disability and Neurodiversity Alliance (DNA)\, their organizing is rooted in disability justice and cross-movement solidarity. Most recently\, they co-led the successful student fee levy renewal campaign\, securing continued funding for student-led services and organizing at SFU. \n \n \n \nMeet Marie\nMarie is a Coptic Egyptian graduate student in Communication Research for Social Change and currently serves as the Director of Engagement at Embark Sustainability Society where she leads community-focused initiatives. Before joining Embark\, Marie spent five years as a student organizer advancing equitable and sustainable education through intersectional and anti-oppressive organizing. She helped lead campaigns that established the Black Student Center\, secured the 15 Black Faculty Cluster Hiring Initiative\, advanced SFU’s fossil fuel divestment campaign\, and led the Simon Fraser Student Society’s first Palestinian Liberation and BDS policy\, later adopted as a bylaw. Through her master’s research\, Marie documents and preserves the organizing histories and legacies of marginalized communities\, strengthening movement memory and ensuring future generations can learn from those who came before them. \nDay 2 Workshop: Power is in Remembering –Movement Memory\, Archives & Organizing for the Future\nThis session explores how we can build upon the struggles\, victories\, and lessons of the movements that came before us. Preserving movement memory\, learning from past organizing\, and carrying those lessons into present-day work are essential to building stronger coalitions and sustaining intergenerational movements.  \nTogether\, we’ll explore the importance of archiving\, documentation\, and institutional memory; examine case studies from past campaigns; learn how to conduct movement retrospectives; and discuss strategies for preserving and sharing movement narratives.  \nBy documenting our histories\, we can help prevent movements from being co-opted\, ensure future organizers understand the context and strategies that shaped past victories\, and strengthen our collective capacity to imagine and build more just futures. \n  \n\n  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Balqees Jama (she/her) & Giovanni HoSang (he/him)\n				  \n\n \nMeet Balqees\nBalqees is a communications and engagement strategist whose organizing journey began at SFU\, where she learned firsthand how collective action can create institutional change. During her undergraduate years\, Balqees served as president of SOCA and on the boards of SFPIRG and the SFSS. She co-organized campaigns\, including the fight against the eviction of Student Union Building (formerly Rotunda) groups\, the campaign to establish SFU’s Black Student Centre\, and the collective effort to restructure the 26\,000-member Student Society’s governance model to make it more democratic and accessible. She also supported campaigns led by fellow organizers on affordability\, divestment\, Indigenous inclusion\, climate justice\, and other anti-oppression issues. Balqees sees organizing as an ongoing practice of learning\, relationship-building\, and building on the work of those who came before us while making space for those who come next.  \n  \n  \n \nMeet Giovanni\nGiovanni is a software engineer and former student organizer whose activism took root at Simon Fraser University\, where he served as President of the Students of Caribbean and African Ancestry (SOCA) for three years before serving as President of the Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS)\, representing over 26\,000 students. Rooted in SFU’s Black community spaces and the broader Vancouver Black community\, Giovanni co-organized the Black Space Matters campaign resisting the eviction of SOCA and other equity-deserving groups from the Rotunda\, helping spearhead that resistance alongside many Black student organizers. He also led the Tuition Freeze Now campaign\, pushing back against unjust tuition increases for international students through cross-campus solidarity\, contributing to student affordability victories including a $400\,000 emergency bursary during the COVID-19 pandemic. He later co-organized efforts to advance SFU’s Black faculty hiring initiative\, helped build the organizing and policy infrastructure that supported the SFSS’s Palestine Liberation Issues Policy\, and has continued organizing through Black Boys Code and employee-led campaigns and affinity groups at Microsoft\, where he works to bridge technology\, community\, and collective action. \nDay 2 Workshop (Coming Soon)\nThis session explores how we can build upon the struggles\, victories\, and lessons of the movements that came before us.

Join us for a community kitchen honouring American Juneteenth and Canadian Emancipation Day\, where we will explore Black food sovereignty through the interconnected histories of land\, labour\, and liberation across Black communities in the United States and Canada. \nLet’s celebrate the richness\, creativity\, and care embedded in Black food traditions across borders\, including: \n\n\n\nSoul food traditions shaped by the ingenuity and care of enslaved Black communities who transformed scraps and limited resources into nourishment\, culture\, and tradition\nAfrican Nova Scotian communities that relied on deep knowledge of farming\, fishing\, foraging\, and food preservation to sustain generations on minimally fertile land. \n\n\n\nFood has long been tied to Black memory\, community\, cultural preservation\, and collective life. Together\, we will explore what Black food sovereignty means today\, and how food continues to serve as a powerful site of history\, community\, and collective care. \nAbout Juneteenth & Emancipation DayCelebrated annually on August 1\, Emancipation Day marks the abolition of slavery in Canada and across much of the “British Empire.” June 19 or “Juneteenth” marks the delayed enforcement of emancipation in Texas more than two years after the U.S. Emancipation Proclamation. Together\, these histories remind us that the abolition of slavery did not guarantee true liberation\, dignity\, safety\, land\, or justice. Through the lens of Black food sovereignty\, this community kitchen creates space to hold these histories while engaging with the ways food continues to nourish resistance\, memory\, and collective care in the present. \n  \nWe’ll be making:* \n\nMac and Cheese\nFried Chicken & Fried Cauliflower \nHoney Butter Cornbread\nSeasoned Greens (cabbage from our Learning Gardens)\nSweet Potato Pie\n\n*Please let us know of any dietary restrictions and/or food allergies in the registration form ahead of the event.
