266, Bill Van Driel on G20 protests in Toronto and a continuum of repression in Canada

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.

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.

A community event series about grassroots mobilization and action in the face of genocide in Palestine. This series aims to create space for people to hear from community members who have moved from talk into action, have engaged in collective work toward creating space to both express solidarity with the Palestinian people and also to call out the complicity of the Canadian state with the extremist right-wing government carrying out genocidal actions in Gaza. This event series aims to lift up grassroots voices of people working on diverse initiatives and projects to express solidarity with the Palestinian people, voices who have both refused silence and who have found pathways for action in the community. Info on participating groups and speakers Rickie Leach helped make the community zine ‘No Silence' with Stefan Christoff and Rapaël Foisy-Couture and she also helps the group Papineau pour Palestine. This group has a meeting the following day that is open to the public, Sunday March 2nd, at William Kingston Centre at 2pm.

He is also a founder of Non a la loi 21 (#NL21) campaignand and Kalemat, a freethinkers' forum aiming to advocate open dialogue among Arabic-speakers. Emma is a Lebanese-Palestinian-Canadian community organizer and activist. Since the early 2000s, she's been involved in different forms of pro BIPOC activism, lately, mainly for Palestine. Most forms of her activism involve fundraising for families and projects on the ground in Palestine and Lebanon via bake and merch sales with organizations such as Families 4 Palestine MTL, which is a family-friendly, warm and versatile group full of talented parents and children. She's also involved in community organizing, political organizing, creative content creation, as well as organizing demonstrations and protests in Montreal and surroundings with many individuals and groups such as Action Mtl. Darren Ell is a documentary photographer and a recently retired teacher and union representative. His work on Palestine dates back to the 1990's when he was writing for independent media in Saskatchewan.

On this edition of Cultural workers for Palestine we hear from Squirrel Flower, the celebrated American musician. Squirrel Flower canceled her performance at South by Southwest festival last year to protest the involvement of military industrial complex companies in sponsoring the festival. Squirrel Flower's cancelation inspired many others to cancel their participation in official showcases to express solidarity with Palestine. Read some background here in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/mar/06/sxsw-musicians-palestine-weapons-raytheon Thank you to Eve Parker Finley who coordinates POP Symposium and had invited me to look into voices of artists who canceled their participation in SXSW due to the sponsorship of arms industries at the festival.
