2018 Annual Report
December 05, 2018
These can be discouraging times. New challenges and crises have arisen since the story of the Institute for Change Leaders began two years ago, but so have new sources of hope and solidarity. We have trained thousands of organizers who refuse to accept injustice, and who choose to unite in collective action. And I know there are so many more who we haven’t met, who are standing ready to learn the tools of activism and organize their communities.
Inside the fight for press freedom in Canada
October 24, 2018
On October 4, 2017 Parliament unanimously passed Bill S-231, Canada’s first ‘press shield’ law for the protection of journalistic sources. Coming amid a series of serious press freedom violations in Canada, the bill’s passage was a rare bright spot in a generally gloomy time for the rights of journalists.
First Anniversary of the Institute
January 09, 2018
Thank you for making our First Anniversary a huge success!
“I remember the first time I told my story. I cried in front of a room full of people and felt embarrassed. But then I realized, if I didn’t tell my story – someone else would do it for me. And it won’t be the story you want them to tell. And that’s why I hope you get involved with the Institute for Change Leaders. Because now, more than ever, we need more movement leaders. We need more change leaders.” ~ Christopher Torres
