Peoples' Campus Coalition is a coalition mandated to redistribute power equally to all those affected by the decision-making processes at Concordia University. We seek to empower all members of the community (students, staff, administration, faculty and the general public) by demanding, establishing and upholding:
- representation
- transparency
- accountability
We operate in a consensus-based, non-hierarchical and oppression-free manner, welcoming all who strive for change.
We were born out of "campus against corporatization" - a coalition of people brought together in protest of corporate influence on campus. The main kick off being a sit-in protesting the secret re-signing of the PepsiCo contract and the subsequent "public assembly against corporatization on campus" which both took place in November, 2010
From these meetings the mandate, structure and name of the "peoples campus coalition" was formed.
The PCC has taken on several forms over it's last year, and is currently focusing on creating positive spaces for those on campus striving for change to come together, meet, share ideas and create a stronger base of resistance.
We are always looking for new members and hoping to find new ways to achieve campus solidarity.
