The AP!RG ALMANAC is a day planner for all who care about community organizing, social justice & rad art in amiskwacîwâskahikan/edmonton. AP!RG is based at the University of Alberta, so we include extra information relevant to folks on campus. We hope you will use it to connect with community, organize your days, and inspire the work you do to make your communities more just & free!

We are now completely out of 2020-2021 editions! We printed 200 this year, and distributed them via home delivery, public pick-up points, and mail. We’ll be releasing a digital version of all creative content by January 2021 – check out this page & our social media for updates.

 

*we made a printing mistake! On page 5, under “Political Theory & Praxis Bookclub,” it should read:

A free, accessible bookclub which engages with important works of political theory in a supportive and collaborative learning environment.  Topics covered include critical pedagogy, economic theory, historical materialism, decolonial woks, queer and identity-based works and so much more!
