Spring into Action (formerly known as 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, Spring into Action is marking its 16th year with a week of workshops, discussions, film screenings, and social events engaging local and global issues. Spring into Action 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 11- 24, in collaboration with numerous students, community organizers, and organizations. The theme of Spring into Action 2024 is “Outrage” and how we can act on it. Anger and despair in the face of crisis can feel immobilizing and demoralizing, whether we are confronted with smaller scale interpersonal conflicts, housing and food crises, or colonialism, imperialism, and injustice. Our event series this year seeks to explore a variety of responses to crises, including practical protest skills, capacity building, fostering community resilience, mobilizing through direct action, and more!
