Action Speaks Louder

Action Speaks Louder started off as a bi-annual newsletter of the Ontario Public Interest Research Group at the University of Toronto. We now publish articles about social and environmental justice advocacy and activism on a rolling basis on our online blog, with a specific focus on issues that affects our communities. If you would like to see copies of our previous issues, please come by our office at 230 College St, room 318 or you can view our most recent issue and past issue on Issuu here.

We welcome anyone who is interested in joining the editorial collective for Action Speaks Louder please get in touch with us at actionspeaksloudertoronto@gmail.com.
