About QPIRG and SJD

The Quebec Public Interest Research Group at McGill is a non-profit, student-run organization that conducts research, education, and action on environmental and social justice issues at McGill University and in the Montreal community. With such a broad mandate, QPIRG brings together a wide range of activists interested in many different issues.

Social Justice Days is an annual event series that is organized and funded by the Quebec Public Interest Research Group at McGill University (QPIRG-McGill) and the Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU). Intended to stimulate an alternative political culture in the McGill community and beyond, Social Justice Days is marking its 15th year with a week of workshops, discussions, film screenings, and social events engaging local and global issues. Social Justice Days testifies to the diversity of critical political engagement on the McGill campus, and offers students concrete opportunities to get active in their community.

This year, events will take place March 9th- 13th, 2020 in collaboration with numerous students, community organizers, and organizations, including: Black and Indigenous Harm Reduction Alliance (BIHRA), Students in Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights McGill (SPHR McGill), Students for a Free Tibet, Anakbayan Montreal, Solidarity Across Borders, and Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU).
