A Critical Engagement with Extinction Rebellion Quebec: Interview with Mei Chiu & Alex Shiraz -> Listen, download and share: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/extinctionrebellionquebec On the eve of the Climate Strike, No Borders Media speaks with two people of colour members of Extinction Rebellion Quebec: Mei Chiu and Alex Shiraz. This extended interview is a critical engagement with Extinction Rebellion, which has become known in the UK , and increasingly in Quebec, for their disruptive non-violent direct actions to raise awareness about the climate crisis. The first half of the interview explores the origins, actions and organizing of Extinction Rebellion, including some reflections on intergenerational organizing and activist burnout. In the second half, we examine the left-wing critiques of Extinction Rebellion more deeply, including their seeming de-emphasis of anti-capitalism and anti-colonialism, the persistent white, liberal, middle class centering of environmentalism in the West, and the problematic tactic of pure non-violence. -> Listen, download and share: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/extinctionrebellionquebec This interview was recorded, in-studio, on September 25, 2019 in Montreal.

Solidarity with the Migrant Caravan from Honduras to the USA; denouncing Canadian complicity. A feature No Borders Media interview with migrant justice organizers Stacey Gomez and Yurissa Varela -> Listen, download and share here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/migrantcaravansolidarity On this edition of No Borders Media, we explore in more detail the recent migrant caravan that courageously traveled from Honduras, through Guatemala, to the US-Mexico border. We speak with two migrant justice organizers - Stacey Gomez and Yurissa Varela - who are based in Halifax and Ottawa respectively, but also with strong links to Central America. Together, Stacey and Yurissa provide basic background about the caravan, including an eye-witness account from Veracruz, Mexico by Yurissa. They break down the lies and myths about the caravan perpetuated by the Trump administration, the far-right, and much of the mainstream media. Stacey and Yurissa describe the mutual aid between migrants, and solidarity expressed by supporters of the caravan during its journey. There is a focus on the situation of LGBTQ+ migrants, as well as the current women-led hunger strike in Tijuana by caravan participants. Importantly, we together breakdown Canadian state and corporate complicity in creating the displacement of Central Americans, such as the role of destructive mining companies like Goldcorp and Aura Minerals in Honduras and Guatemala. We also focus on debunking Canada's role as some sort of state that welcomes migrants, in the context of the continued imposition of the Safe Third Country Agreement with the USA, as well as the deportation of migrants who reside in Canada, such as Lucy Francineth Granados who was forcibly deported to Guatemala in April. This interview was recorded on December 3, 2018, by Jaggi Singh of No Borders Media.

We Will Outlive Them: For a World without Pogroms, for a Future without Fascism No Borders Media interview with Moishe & Sharona, on contemporary Jewish Anti-Fascism -> Listen, download and share here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/outlivethem On this No Borders Media audio dispatch, we get insight into contemporary Jewish Anti-Fascism with two individuals involved with the recent Outlive Them call to action (info: https://outlivethem.wordpress.com/). The call for anti-racist actions, between November 8 to 11, coincided with the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the violent precursor to the horror of the Holocaust. The actions this year had particular resonance due to the Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre in late October. For perspective on modern Jewish Anti-Fascism, No Borders Media spoke with Sharona and Moishe of Outlive Them. Moishe is also a member of the Muslim-Jewish Anti-Fascist Front. Together, Sharona and Moishe address the current epidemic proportions of worldwide anti-Semitism, solidarity between movements and peoples fighting oppression, Jewish histories of struggle and resistance, and militant tactics and strategies of anti-fascism.

Au moins 58 000 étudiant.e.s en grève cette semaine au Québec Entrevue avec Mathilde Laforge et Kassie Raymond de la Campagne sur le travail étudiant (CUTE), sur la grève de cette semaine pour demander la fin des stages étudiants non rémunérés -> Écoutez, téléchargez et partagez ici: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/grevedesstages Vous écoutez No Borders Media. Cette semaine au Québec, plus de 55 000 étudiant.e.s seront en grève, la plus grande grève des dernières années. Cette grève est différente dans la mesure où ce sont les étudiant.e.s stagiaires, issus principalement de programmes techniques et professionnels, qui sont le moteur de la grève. Ces stagiaires exigent la fin du travail non rémunéré et une juste compensation pour leurs stages. Les emplois occupés par ces stagiaires - dans l'enseignement, le travail social, les soins infirmiers, les sage-femmes et d'autres professions - représentent des emplois effectués majoritairement par des femmes. La grève de cette semaine est un effort féministe, inspiré par les campagnes «Wages for Housework» des années 1970s, autant que par les efforts récents pour résister au capitalisme néolibéral. Pour faire le point sur la grève de cette semaine, No Borders Media a discuté avec deux organisatrices et grévistes étudiantes impliquées dans les comités autonomes de la Campagne pour le travail étudiant (CUTE). À la veille de la grève, nous discutons avec Mathilde Laforge et Kassie Raymond, qui seront en grève cette semaine. Cette interview a été enregistrée le 18 novembre 2018. -> Écoutez ici: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/grevedesstages Pour plus d'informations sur la grève des étudiant.e.s stagiaires: - www.facebook.com/campagnetravailetudiant/ - www.grevedesstages.info/ ---------- NO BORDERS MEDIA No Borders Media, basée à Toronto et à Montréal, est un réseau de médias autonome de gauche.

More than 50,000 Quebec students on strike this week Interview with Laurie Bissonnette and Jackie Ohayon of the Campaign on Student Work (CUTE), on this week's strike to demand an end to unpaid student internships -> Listen, download and share here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/quebecinternstrike This is a No Borders Media audio dispatch. This week in Quebec, upwards of 55,000 students will be on strike, the largest strike action in years. This strike is different since it's student interns, mainly from technical and professional programs, that are the engine of the strike. These interns are demanding an end to unpaid work, and proper compensation for their internships. The jobs done by these interns -- in teaching, social work, nursing, midwifery, and other professions -- represent jobs gendered as work done by women. This week's strike is a feminist effort, inspired by the Wages for Housework campaigns of the 1970s as much as recent efforts to resist neo-liberal capitalism. For perspective on this week's strike, particularly for English-speaking listeners, No Borders Media spoke with two student organizers, interns and strikers involved with autonomous committees of the Campaign on student work, known as the Campagne sur le travail étudiant (CUTE). On the eve of the strike, we speak with Laurie Bissonnette and Jackie Ohayon, social work students and interns who will be on strike this week.

Cindy, who recently wrote the article, Our Grief Is a Starting Point in the Fight Against Fascism, explores the weight of despair in this Trumpian moment, but also inspiring examples of solidarity and mutual aid. Andrew breaks down how Fox News host Tucker Carlson actively supports and enables white nationalism And Jaggi makes the case, again, against liberal civility and for radical authenticity, in the struggle against the far-right. -> Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/newsroundup111718 ------ Here are other No Borders Media News Roundups: - News Roundup Podcast Ep. 04 (10/03/18): Racism in Quebec & the Election of CAQ Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/electioncaq - News Roundup Podcast Ep. 03 (09/25/18): Resisting the right-wing Ford government in Ontario Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/torontonewsroundup - News Roundup Podcast Ep. 02 (09/18/18): Three anarchists discussing the news (Disaster Relief, Trump Resistance, Anarchy in Teen Vogue, and more) Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/newsroundup091818 - News Roundup Podcast Ep. 01 (09/09/18) - Prison Strike, Trump Resistance, and more!

Gord is a member of the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation on the Northwest Coast of so-called British Columbia, and has been active with Indigenous resistance, anti-colonial and anti-capitalist movements for three decades In this feature-length interview, we speak with Gord about the motivations for creating The Antifa Comic Book, the process of writing, drawing and inking, as well as the detailed research undertaken to create his book. We discuss in depth the process of discovering grassroots anti-fascist history, definitions of fascism, influences of fascism on wide-ranging regimes and movements globally, as well as the various internal conflicts on the political left that allowed space for fascism to thrive historically. Gord shares his views on countering the demonization of modern-day Antifa, tactical lessons from the history of confronting fascism, creating anti-fascist culture, and the necessity of self-defence against fascists.

No Borders Media News Roundup Podcast #3 Resisting the right-wing Ford government and the far-right in Ontario A conversation with Toronto-area left-wing activists Desmond Cole, Niloofar Golkar, Syed Hussan & Sharmeen Khan -> Listen to the podcast here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/torontonewsroundup ----- On this No Borders Media News Roundup, recorded late on September 25, 2018, we focus on politics in Toronto and Ontario, looking closely at resistance to the right-wing Ford government. We hear from a panel of four Toronto-area left-wing activists, organizers and political commentators: Desmond Cole, Niloofar Golkar, Syed Hussan and Sharmeen Khan. Over the course of a more than one-hour conversation, we explore the regressive changes already brought in by the Ford government, and the possibilities of resistance to his agenda. We look critically at the demobilizing role of the NDP and big labour, but also hopefully at examples of grassroots self-organizing, from the recent high school walkout to Black Lives Matter and the Fight for Fifteen campaign. We raise the alarm bells about the increased normalization of the racist far-right in Ontario, as exemplified by the discourse of candidates running all over the Greater Toronto Area and the Golden Horseshoe. There's some kudos one progressive Toronto mayoral candidate, but focus on non-electoral rooted resistance to meaningfully disrupt the right-wing and far-right agenda. ----- NO BORDERS MEDIA No Borders Media, based in Toronto and Montreal, is an autonomous left-wing media network.

This is a No Borders Media audio dispatch. This past Friday, September 21, 2018, tens of thousands of high school students in Ontario, from close to 100 schools, walked out of their classes in protest against regressive changes to sexual education as well as other curriculum changes proposed and implemented by the right-wing Doug Ford Conservative government. The walkout was called: We The Students Do Not Consent, and was inspired, partially, by high school organizing in the USA. For an insider view, No Borders Media speaks with three Toronto-area high school students who helped to organize and participated in the walkout: Thea Baines, 17, Benjamin Doll, 19, and Amina Vance,17. Together, Thea, Benjamin and Amina provide background to the origins of the walkout, standing together for all students including queer and trans youth, the behind-the-scenes organizing and coordination between students from close to 100 schools, and how it felt to successfully organize a walkout that mobilized thousands. They also reflect on organizing challenges and look ahead to the alliances and strategies necessary to defeat the socially and economically right-wing agenda of the Ford government.

No Borders Media News Roundup Podcast #2 featuring three anarchists: Kim Kelly (writer and organizer from New York City), Andrew from It's Going Down, & Jaggi Singh from No Borders Media. -> Listen to the podcast here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/newsroundup091818 On this latest (September 18, 2018) No Borders Media News Roundup Podcast, we feature a conversation between three anarchist media-makers: Kim Kelly (writer and organizer from New York City), Andrew from It's Going Down, and Jaggi Singh from No Borders Media. We discuss Autonomous Disaster Relief in the context of Hurricane Florence, with reference to Hurricane Sandy (2012) and Maria (2017), and a breakdown of the colonial-capitalist exploitation of Puerto Rico. We explore a core topic of these news round-ups: Trump Resistance. We criticize the ruling class appropriation of resistance, and take a critical but open-minded look at the growth of social-democracy on the left in USA, with detailed reference to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and the candidates they've supported, like Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez in New York City. We highlight ongoing examples of autonomous, grassroots resistance, including the Prison Strike, anti-fascist organizing, Occupy ICE actions, various teachers strikes, Indigenous Resistance to pipelines, and more. We get an update about an Occupy ICE comrade from San Antonio, Mapache, who stood up to neo-Nazi violence, as well as to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but was recently deported to Mexico after a months long detention. We muse about the continued relevance of, and increasing interest in, anarchist ideas and practice. This includes the inside scoop on the recent Teen Vogue article on anarchism (written by our guest Kim Kelly). We finish up with a discussion about the necessity and importance of left-wing anarchist media in this current political moment.

This is a No Borders Media feature interview with two members of Rose City Antifa, one of the long-standing and active anti-fascist groups in North America. Rose City, which is Portland, Oregon, has been the site of attempts at neo-Nazi and far-right organizing for decades. As recently as May 2017, two people were killed, and one other badly injured, in an attack by a white nationalist on light rail train in Portland. Recently, Rose City Antifa has confronted the far-right Patriot Prayer protests, an umbrella for white nationalists and neo-Nazis to march and protest together. This in-depth, feature interview goes into details about various strategic and tactical considerations for anti-fascist groups, based on the experiences of Rose City Antifa. We discuss responses to the hesitancy of liberal anti-racists to antifa tactics, as well as the distinctions between the various neo-Nazis and white nationalists who have organized more publicly in the past two years. Rose City Antifa organizing is rooted in relentless research about far-right threats, direct action against those threats, but also building and maintaining political and cultural Left space. We discuss these topics in detail. This interview also addresses the controversial question of gun ownership in the USA from the point-of-view of anti-fascist organizing. This interview was conducted on September 1, 2018, for No Borders Media.

This is an audio dispatch from No Borders Media. Earlier today, the Supreme Court of India issued a unanimous decision, overturning section 377 of the Indian Penal Code which criminalized gay sex. The decision is an historic and meaningful victory for the mobilizing and organizing of queer communities in the Indian state. For perspective on this important decision, and to look ahead, No Borders Media spoke with Ponni Arasu, a Tamil, queer, feminist activist, and a member of Voices Against 377. She speaks about both the legal and grassroots organizing struggles of the past decade, the sectors of Indian society who opposed the decriminalization of gay sex, as well as the generations of queer people who fought against section 377 in the past.

In this No Borders Media extended feature interview, we learn more about the organizing in support of Abdoul Abdi, a former child refugee, survivor of the foster care system, and prisoner. This past July, Abdi was finally allowed to stay in Canada despite several deportation attempts by the Canadian government. Abdi's case exposes multiple injustices of systems of control in the Canadian state, including the immigration system, the so-called child protection system, as well as the criminal justice and prison system. The successful mobilizing to keep Abdi in Canada is also an inspiring example of multifaceted, cross-city, intersectional organizing, as well as the power of Grassroots Black Canada. For an insider view of the support and organizing for Abdoul Abdi, No Borders Media speaks with El Jones, a poet and community activist based in Halifax (Nova Scotia).

No Borders Media presents an exclusive interview with Indigenous warrior Kanahus Manuel, in the aftermath of the recent Canada Federal Court of Appeal decision to quash approval of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline project. The pipeline, which would move tar sands crude and refined oil from Alberta to the British Columbia Coast, has been actively opposed by diverse groups, and by varied means, including civil disobedience and direct action. The heart of the resistance has been Indigenous nations in the path of the proposed pipeline. Kanahus is active with both the Secwepemc Women Warriors and the Tiny House Warriors in resisting the Trans Mountain pipeline. For many years, she has organized against corporate exploitation of the lands of her people, including the Sun Peaks ski resort, Imperial Metals, as well as the Mount Polley mine. In this exclusive interview, the first one she has given since the Federal Court of Appeal decision, Kanahus both responds to the recent legal victory against the pipeline, and provides context and analysis about ongoing grassroots resistance to destructive resource extraction projections. She speaks to us from beside the Blue River, on the path of the proposed pipeline.

For the past two weeks, members of Quebec's Black community have raised awareness and mobilized against SLĀV. Protesters have described SLĀV as a "theatrical production based on African-American slave songs ... coordinated by a group of white people, performed by a cast of predominantly white people, and presented by the Festival International du Jazz de Montréal at Théatre du Nouveau Monde. We are alarmed by the dismissal and silencing of Black voices in the creation, development, staging, and promotion of the show SLĀV." (from Against the show SLĀV: http://bit.ly/2KJGreF) For insights into the racism inherent in SLĀV, we speak with MARILOU CRAFT, a Montreal-based writer and dramaturge who initially pointed out the problems with the production of SLĀV in December 2017 (original article: http://bit.ly/2Nthy5F).
