Join friends, comrades, and colleagues for three exciting days in Montreal as we come together in this unique moment to build relationships and trust across organizations, have space to learn & skill-up, and devise strategic plans for the climate movement ahead of the next two pivotal years.
Through workshops, facilitated discussion, workshops, panels, and keynote speakers we’ll together explore conversations related to the 2025 Federal Election, Coalition-Building & Climate Justice, Just Solutions & Transition, Anti-austerity (affordability & showing up for the working class), Decolonization, and Canada’s Fair Share of the global effort to limit warming to 1.5°C. We’ll also take the opportunity to unveil CAN-Rac’s new valued-based Charter—the foundational document members adhere to when joining the network.
It’s our hope that you’ll leave the Convergence having deeply engaged with the program, with bold plans to implement and collaborate with one another on the ideas discussed.
