Youth in Action: Building Solidarity for a Just Future
Read the report!
Action Canada hosted our fourth annual Rights from the Start CrossRegional Forum from October 13 to 15, 2023 in Montreal. The event, Youth in Action: Building Solidarity for a Just Future, gathered 28 young advocates from Turtle Island and Abya Yala (or the regions we know, respectively, as Canada and Latin America) to share knowledge and build networks. This year’s forum built on learnings from previous years, exploring how to build solidarity between movements and regions towards a future that is just for all.
Over three days, participants exchanged knowledge to strengthen their shared commitment to building solidarity. The forum focused on forwardlooking strategies for mitigating, responding to, and resisting challenges collectively. Participants built connections between their experiences, whether the challenges they face are localised, regional, national, or global.
This report recounts key learnings from the event, recognizing the youth participants as the generators of this knowledge.
