How can each of us strengthen mathematics teaching in and outside of school, so that ordinary people have the tools necessary to understand and fight for social justice? As background, we will examine the mathematical work of a Toronto-based community group, Stop the Cuts, as they advocated to stop proposed budget cuts and cuts to city services.
