=Incorporation=
Registering as a charity is a process through the Canada Revenue Agency, different from registering as non-profit organization. Organizations that have charitable status are exempt from income tax and can issue tax receipts for donations.
Why incorporate?
Some funding options, such as certain government grants and charitable
foundations, will only grant money to incorporated non-profit organizations.
Further, some funding options are only available to non-profit organizations
that also have registered charitable status.
Incorporation can provide advantages for an organization. It provides a legal
structure that stays in place even as the active members change over the
years. An incorporated non-profit can enter into contracts and have its own
bank accounts.ered charities are also eligible to apply for
funding from charitable foundations.
 
What is incorporation?
When you incorporate, you are establishing an artificial entity that is considered to be a legal person and is registered with a provincial and/or federal enterprise registrar. In Quebec, the provincial enterprise registrar is called Registraire des entreprises (www.registreentreprises.gouv.qc.ca). The federal enterprise registrar is run by Industry Canada and called Strategis (www.ic.gc.ca). Once your organization is incorporated, some information
about it will be available in a register for the public to see (your address,
your last submitted list board of directors, whether you filed your annual
documents on time, etc.).
An incorporated non-profit organization must follow certain requirements by
law. Here is a summary of some of the obligations for non-profit
organizations incorporated with the province of Quebec:
· The organization must have a governing board of directors with at least
three directors who are elected by the members.
· The organization must create and follow its bylaws or “règlements
généraux” (also called the constitution by some organizations) which
contain the general rules of how the organization should operate. Some
of the rules you will find in the bylaws include:
o who is eligible to be a member of the organization;
o when the annual general meeting are held; and
o how elections for board members occurs.
 
· Depending on the organization’s circumstances and activities, the nonprofit
organization may also have to meet other requirements including
filing annual tax returns, paying the provincial and federal government
remittances and source deductions for their employees, registering
volunteers and employees for CSST (the Quebec government’s public
insurance plan for work-related injuries), and applying for municipal and
sales tax exemption.
 
activities?
Charities need to make sure that most of their resources are spent on
charitable activities. According to the Canada Revenue Agency, charitable
activities are distinct from political activities. Depending on the size of your
organization, only 10% to 20% of your resources can be spent on nonpartisan
political activities every year. This is often referred to as “the 10%
rule” although the percentage varies according to the overall annual income
of your organization.
Are all types of political activities allowed?
No, only non-partisan political activities are allowed. All partisan political
activities are strictly prohibited. Illegal activities, are, of course, also
forbidden.
What are partisan political activities?
The Canada Revenue Agency defines a partisan political activity as “one that
involves direct or indirect support of, or opposition to, any political party or
candidate for public office”. A charity can never endorse or oppose a
political party or candidate at any government level. Partisan political
activities are prohibited activities. Failure to comply with this rule can have
serious consequences and result in an organization losing its charitable
 
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) defines non-partisan activities as
anything that explicitly calls for a “law, policy or decision of any level of
government” to be “retained, opposed or changed”. Non-partisan political
activities are the only type of political activities charities can organize or
participate in. It is these types of activities that the CRA defines as falling
*Direct Action
 
=Space:=
People must be highly organized and active to influence power...need to create space to organize, create, build organizations to increase their power, capacity, and influence.
 
Site where people learn true value of their work and how dominant system excludes them.  Teaching of history if the oppression of particular groups so that community members can understand, articulate, and recognize the forces that oppressed them...raises political consciousness.
People need a space to share experiences and knowledge, be creative.
Workshops
 
=Funding:=
=Education:=
*"...vision of progressive revolutionary change was based of the role of critical education in achieving mass political consciousness with democratic, grassroots base rather than an elite leadership"-(Margaret Ledwith in Community Development: A Critical Approach, talking of Antonio Gramsci).
*Midwest Academy Strategy Chart: P. 156 from E. Shragge 1st course pack.
*As social anarchists we inherit a body of theory (based on experience) that appears to grow more powerful as time passes. For us an analysis of power relations that locates oppression in hierarchy and domination gives us insights into many contemporary social movements -- insights that many in these movements may miss themselves. However, while we have the bare bones of an overarching social theory, we are obliged to learn from the new social movements in order to flesh out that theory. Thus we actively listen and learn from people of color about Eurocentrism and other forms of racism, from gay and lesbian activists about heterosexism and homophobia, from animal advocates about speciesism, etc.colin wright

*Men in Feminism: Men must struggle to create for themselves a kind of experience of their own gender location which male supremacy has forbidden.Sandra Harding ( p.286)
*Feminism and the Liberal/Radical Split: the achievement of full freedom for women (all women, not a privileged few) presupposes such profound economic, social and political changes that, were such a historical development to take place, the present status quo could not and would not survive. Hester Eisenstein (p. xvii)
*A serious anarchism must also be feminist, otherwise it is a question of patriarchal half-anarchism, and not real anarchism. Anarchist Federation of Norway
*Feminist radicals, in contrast to feminist liberals, believe that the entire system -- patriarchal liberalism -- is a flawed construct, designed by and for men in their own interest. Thus, for these feminists, feminism is nothing less than revolutionary.
===Vox Pop/Word in the Herd===
===Jargon Glossary (definition and use===
**Direct Action: Acting directly to represent our interest ourselves. Refers to any action that cuts out the middle man and solves problems directly, eithout appealing to elected reps, corporate interests, and other powers. (taken from Shawn Ewald's Anarchism in Action: Methods, Tactics, Skills, and Ideas.)
**Consensus:  A process which requires an environment in which all contributions are valued and participation is encouraged.(taken from Shawn Ewald's Anarchism in Action: Methods, Tactics, Skills, and Ideas.)
**Gender fluidity: The belief that social constructions of gender identity and gender roles lie along a spectrum and cannot be limited to two genders; a feeling that one's gender varies from societal notions of two genders.
**Pansexual: A term of choice for people who do not self-identify as bisexual, finding themselves attracted to people across a spectrum of genders.
**Privilege: Special rights, advantages, or immunity granted to, or assumed by, certain groups and considered by them as their right; for example in the United States, privilege accrues mostly to whites, to heterosexual people, and most of all, to white, heterosexual males.
**Intervention: Action to change a situation for the better; a deliberate, organized effort to improve the circumstances of one or more individuals by altering the environment, policies, and/or circumstances facing or affecting those individuals
**Affinity Group: An affinity group is a small group of 5 to 20 people who work together autonomously on direct actions or other projects. You can form an affinity group with your friends, people from your community, workplace,or organization. Affinity groups challenge top-down decision-making and organizing, and empower those involved to take creative direct action.(taken from Shawn Ewald's Anarchism in Action: Methods, Tactics, Skills, and Ideas.)
**Collectives:A collective is a permanent organizational grouping that exists to accomplish a range of tasks or achieve a goal or maintain a permanent project.
**Federation: Federations are essentially unions of autonomous organizations and/or affinity groups. Federations are formal organizations with constitutions, bylaws, and specific membership guidelines.(taken from Shawn Ewald's Anarchism in Action: Methods, Tactics, Skills, and Ideas.)
**Participation :
**Direct Democracy : Literal direct democracy is a bottom up method of decision making that uses voting as the means to arrive at decisions.  In direct democracy, anyone can call a vote on an issue and anyone can technically call an assembly, however, a group or council can draft and approve guidelines for calling votes and calling assemblies.(taken from Shawn Ewald's Anarchism in Action: Methods, Tactics, Skills, and Ideas.)
*Anarchism: "While the popular understanding of anarchism is of a violent, anti-State movement, anarchism is a much more subtle and nuanced tradition then a simple opposition to government power. Anarchists oppose the idea that power and domination are necessary for society, and instead advocate more co-operative, anti-hierarchical forms of social, political and economic organisation." (The Politics of Individualism, p. 106) L. Susan Brown
*Despite the popular idea of anarchists as violent men, Anarchism is the one non-violent social philosophy.… The function of the Anarchist is two-fold. By daily courage in non-cooperation with the tyrannical forces of the State and the Church, he helps to tear down present society; the Anarchist by daily cooperation with his fellows in overcoming evil with good-will and solidarity builds toward the anarchistic commonwealth which is formed by voluntary action with the right of secession.
— Ammon Hennacy, The Book of Ammon, 1964
*Community :
*Organizing : This term can mean different things to different communities. Organizing can refer to the process of base building and strengthening social movements by working with people in affected communities to define their objectives, and co-creating a strategy to achieve those objectives. Other organizing models focus more on engaging people outside of affected communities to support an issue or campaign. Yes, there is a tension between the two. Organizing activities, no matter the tactical model, can include education, outreach, power mapping, advocacy, civil disobedience, long-term relationship building, and targeting decision makers to affect policy.

**Safe space: A place where anyone can relax and be fully self-expressed, without fear of being made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or unsafe on account of biological sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, cultural background, age, or physical or mental ability; a place where the rules guard each person's self-respect and dignity and strongly encourage everyone to respect others
**Oppression : Refers to the subordination, marginalization, and exclusion from society of these groups, thereby denying them social justice, citizenship, and full democratic rights to participate in society. (Margaret Ledwith in Community Development: A Critical Approach).  Oppression is structural and refers to the vast and deep injustices some folks suffer as a consequence of often unconscious assumptions and reactions of well-meaning people in ordinary interactions, media, and cultural stereoptypes, and structural features of bureaucratic hierarchies and market mechanisms. (Taken from Iris Marion Young, Five Faces of Oppression).
**Sexual minority: An umbrella term for people whose sexuality is expressed in less common ways; may include people who self-identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, Two-Spirit, third gender, and so on.
**Two-Spirit: A term whose definition varies across Native American cultures, but which generally means a person born with one biological sex and fulfilling at least some of the gender roles assigned to both sexes; often considered part male and part female or wholly male and wholly female; often revered as natural peace makers as well as healers and shamans.
