On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from musician, community organizer and longtime Queer activist Jordan Arseneault. Jordan has long organized for the rights of people living with HIV and has done a lot of work at the intersections of intersecting grassroots struggles to both lift up and speak to marginalized experiences. Jordan reflects in this interview on the organizing efforts that took place under the Conservative government in Canada of Stephen Harper to oppose the omnibus crime bill in 2012.

Jordan speaks about the ways that this corner stone of Conservative legislation in Canada, that included mandatory minimum sentencing, continues to have impacts. This interview took place in the context of thinking about how community organizers can and should be dealing with the rising threat of the Conservative Party in Canada which won the most votes since 1988 in the 2025 federal election.

This interview program is supported in 2025 by the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University. The music track is Passage by Anarchist Mountains.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from community organizer Bill Van Driel. Bill speaks about experiences during the major protests against the G20 in Toronto in relation to the police and legal repression that was experienced by the protesters. Bill contextualizes this moment within a continuum of both protest actions taking place during this period against closed door international summits around the world, largely demonstrations focused on opposing the inherent inequality of capitalism. Also Bill places the repression that protest movements experienced within a realistic framework of understanding these moments of heightened police repression as reflected by media coverage that doesn't focus on the larger systemic mechanisms of social control and repression.

Today Bill works with Solidarity Across Borders and has played a meaningful role in bridging anti-capitalist and migrant justice organizing spaces. This interview took place within the context of building discussions on the threat posed by a rising political support for the Conservative Party of Canada and what that means for social movements as well as vulnerable communities.

This interview program is supported in 2025 by the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University. The music track is Passage by Anarchist Mountains. Drawing is about the fence in Toronto during the G20 summit in 2010.

Listen to an interview with long time community organizer for housing justice and researcher Fred Burrill speaking about the ways that the systemic financialization of housing contributes to social violence for working class and low income people. Fred speaks about his research work in the context of having organized for many years with P.O.P.I.R. in the southwest of Montreal, particularly in St. Henri. Fred talks about the arc of municipal policies that have driven housing financialization in the city and how that reflects broader global questions around the commodification of housing.

On this edition of Cultural workers for Palestine we speak with artist Shellyne Rodriguez.

Shellyne is a Bronx based artist, educator and community activist. In this conversation we talk about the ways that solidarity can be both expressed and built between internal and external colonies to American imperialism. Shellyne outlines the ways that the Bronx, due to historical marginalization and patterns of racialized migration, is a key example of what the dynamics of internal colonialism are in the United States context. Shellyne outlines this point in relation to why expressions of understanding and also action in solidarity with Palestine, as both an artist and cultural worker is important.
