272, Community organizer Helen Hudson reflects on acting against war and racism post 9/11
On this program we hear from long time community activist Helen Hudson speaking about migrant justice organizing post 9/11 in Montreal and more broadly in North America. This interview is focused on understanding the lineages of organizing between this period and contemporary social movement work taking place to challenge repressive actions against migrant communities taking place today. Helen is a long term community organizer who has a lot to share about grassroots organizing networks and community initiatives in Montreal.
This interview particularly focuses on understanding the context around self-organized migrant communities who were struggling against deportations post 9/11 including the Non-Status Refugees Action Committee (CASS) of Algerian refugees, the Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees and the Action Committee of Pakistani Refugees which formed to fight the detention and deportation of members of their communities post 9/11. These forces were central to the formation of Solidarity Across Borders in the city.

271, Filmmaker Franklin López on filming with Nehirowisiw Indigenous land defenders
On this edition of Free City Radio we speak with filmmaker Franklin López who talks about documenting Nehirowisiw Indigenous land defenders who have been resisting corporate driven clear cutting on their traditional territories.
The Nehirowisiw, more commonly known as the Nation Atikamekw, have been battling Québec companies like Produits Forestiers Arbec Inc. who are operating on traditional unceded Indigenous lands with a green light from the Québec government. In response the Nehirowisiw has launched a number of road blockades to protest the clearcutting on their lands. The closest settler cities to this frontline Indigenous land defence action are Parent and the larger town of La Tuque.
