What
The Future is Public is a two day gathering of union leaders, activists, researchers, and community groups designed to share ideas and proposals around building a pro-public movement in Canada.The objectives of the conference are to:
- Share knowledge about pro-public victories in Canada and around the world
- Explore the potential for a pro-public network in Canada
- Link local groups with international organizations working on pro-public initiatives
Why
Privatization is deeply unpopular and has been fought successfully. But if the anti-privatization movement only thinks defensively the best we can do is protect the status quo. A discussion about reclaiming and reimagining public services can help move us towards a clearer picture of what we want from our public services in the future.
This conference aims to generate outlines of such a common vision, working towards a pro-public movement that would develop proposals and campaigns for public services that:
- Address environmental crises and reverse deepening inequality
- Increase a sense of ownership and democratic input from workers and communities
- Create inclusive and equitable services
