Masking as a Revolutionary Act

Season 1 · Episode 161

Wednesday, November 20, 2024 • Duration 48:09

COVID AWARE ORGANIZING

If we're going to build accessible, safe spaces to organize, that needs to include ways to reduce COVID transmissions amongst our comrades. Shira Lurie, a COVID aware activist with Protect our Province Nova Scotia (POPNS) and Mask for Mask Queers, joins host Jessa McLean to give easy, affordable precautions we can incorporate into our organizing and event planning.

Filling in the gaps where our governments have failed to protect us isn't new to progressives. Neither is having to buck popular trends, or create new ones. So why the resistance to masking and other initiatives around air quality? We unpack that and how we can start to bring more people along, even after five years.

Rabble Rant: Evacuated

Season 1 · Episode 63

Sunday, August 20, 2023 • Duration 47:50

The entire city of Yellowknife was evacuated after wildfires that have been burning nearby for weeks got too close to leave anything to chance. This massive fire in the NWT has already razed communities to the ground and shows no signs of slowing. The remoteness of the area and the lack of control we have over our resources means long delays, difficult displacements and very little supports for people in crisis.

Residents in Kelowna, B.C. and surrounding areas have also been ordered to leave their homes behind as fire nears. And we are just two weeks from the deadly fire in Maui.

These fires and their evacuations laid bare just how capitalism has failed to structure us in ways that will allow us to best survive the climate crisis upon us.

Community Defences

Season 1 · Episode 62

Wednesday, August 16, 2023 • Duration 01:07:37

The Peace Country Progressive Alliance are a small network of activists with the daunting task of "fighting hate" in their rural community.

That fight utilizes a variety of tactics, including physically standing up to venomous right-wing protestors outside drag story time events. Why do they do it? How do they mobilize in remote parts of the country with very little resources?

What does defending the lgbtq community have to do with building working class solidarity? A lot!

Rabble Rant: Corruption, Green and the Greenbelt

Season 1 · Episode 61

Saturday, August 12, 2023 • Duration 57:10

The Greenbelt and the Auditor General Report

The Ontario Greenbelt's history has been a contentious one. From its creation, it has been resisted by developers whose sought to make obscene profits from unended sprawl. The Greenbelt Act in 2005 did not deter them, only increased their involvement and investment in Provincial politicians.

Ford Nation also has a complicated history with the Greenbelt and political resistance to his plans to carve it up and hand it over to his biggest donors. But now, the receipts are official in the form of the Auditor General's report on the land selection process by the Ontario Progressive Conservatives. And it is scathing.

As people are process on these details, environmentalists are feeling validated and extremely frustrated. Their warnings and calls to action largely went unheard.

The time comes to decide what our collective response needs to be. Some are calling for the OPP's involvement, others for resignations. What can stop this development from happening now?

All of these discussions and more in this latest Rabble Rant brought to you by the same folks producing Blueprints of Disruption.

Martin Lukacs, of the Breach and the Guardian, gives the inside scoop on his recent article Lobbyists run today’s NDP—and they’re warping the party’s politics. This investigative report details the roles of the Party's inner circle and the connections they have to corporate lobbying firms advocating for big oil and companies like Air BnB.
