This edition of Free City Radio features the second in a set of programs focused on hearing community voices from Montreal who engaged with the Voices beyond lockdown zine project of Free City Radio. The zine was launched in the fall of 2024 and focuses on the ways that community activists and artists responded to the pandemic lockdowns of 2020, particularly people directly from, or directly working with, communities that were already experiencing systemic persecution or discrimination before the pandemic began. This interview set is an opportunity to hear reflections in the current context, in 2025, on the sustaining relevance and importance of understanding how this period impacts the present. Also the ways that focusing on activist and artist voices in regards to how to both conceptualize and frame the sustaining relevance of this period, is important. On this edition Jordan Arseneault, researcher, performer, musician and community activist shares their reflections on the zine. Jordan underlines the ways that the realities of the pandemic lockdowns in the winter 2020 were driven by neoliberal policies. Jordan also underlines that the pandemic can be considered a topic that was is over discussed while still certain realities were excluded from those discussions, like those faced by undocumented workers. Jordan references historian Mary Beard's work as interesting because this period of lockdowns, again pushed us toward the local, while different from past periods where only the local context mattered, in 2020 it was a local that was globalized. Jordan references Joyce Wieland's work as an interesting way to understand the layers involved in this presentation, with both the obvious political conclusions being present while there also existing multiple layers of meaning when we take the time to reflect and discuss.

This edition of Free City Radio is the first in a two editions that are focused on reflecting on the Voices beyond lockdown zine project, an initiative of Free City Radio that highlights the voices of community activists and artists responding to the pandemic lockdown. For these two editions I invited people who attended the launch of the zine in Montreal in the fall of 2024 to share their reflections on the publication and the sustaining importance of the political, social and cultural lessons of the pandemic lockdown period. As the zine held a particular focus on the experiences of communities already experiencing marginalization (economic and political) before the pandemic began, the voices featured look to collective action and community organizing that took place to address power imbalances and injustices during the pandemic. In this conversation community activist and artist Damaris Baker shares their reflections on the zine project.

This edition of Free City Radio features a conversation with the filmmakers behind the project "Direct Action." Filmmakers Guillaume Cailleau & Ben Russell speak on a film that has been described this way: "Direct action is a tactical strategy of protest that seeks to achieve an end directly and by the most effective means. DIRECT ACTION is a contemporary portrait of one of the most high-profile militant activist communities in France: a 150-person strong rural collective that successfully resisted an international airport expansion project in 2018, created an autonomous zone between 2012 and 2018, survived multiple violent eviction attempts by the French state and spawned a new ecological movement in 2021. Using a collaborative and immersive observational approach, the film documents the everyday lives of a diverse ecosystem of activists, squatters, anarchists, farmers and those labelled by the government as “eco-terrorists”. Can the success of a radical protest movement offer a path through the climate crisis?" This interview program is supported in 2025 by the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University. Also thank you to Cinema Politica through which in my work with the organization I originally encountered the film DIRECT ACTION. The music track is Passage by Anarchist Mountains.

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.

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.
