For the last quarter-century, Godspeed You! Black Emperor have been putting out epic, orchestral, anarchistic rock music. Their albums and legendary live performances have fuelled radical social movements in their hometown of Montreal, and all around the world. To celebrate the release of the band's latest album G_d's Pee at State's End!, The Rebel Beat is doing a 2-part people's history of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. This first episode features a conversation between host Aaron Lakoff, anarchist graphic designer Kevin Lo, and Sharmeen Khan of No One Is Illegal Toronto and Upping The Anti. We examine how the band's music has been interwoven with some of the greatest moments of social upheaval of our time, from the protests against the war in Iraq, to the massive Quebec student strike of 2012, to the current pandemic. Part 2 will feature an in-depth discussion with Efrim Manuel Menuck from the band. Coming soon. Also, happy MayDay! It's a great day to listen to Godspeed's tune Bosses Hang. Like this podcast?

In this episode of CKX Questions we sit down for a conversation with Maya Menezes - Senior Manager at The Leap (where she is the co-host of the Change Everything podcast), an organizer with No One Is Illegal Toronto and an organizer of PowerShift. And it is the way that the latter summarized her work that resonated most for us - “Maya is a climate, refugee and migrant justice organizer, professional fundraiser and full-time hell raiser.” Links from our conversation: Change Everything Podcast Migrant Rights Network (Short Film) No One is Illegal Toronto (Facebook and Twitter) The intro and outro music for CKX Questions is the song "Good Vibes" by Broken Parts - check out the full album and support their work here.

No Hate in Toronto: Protesting and disrupting white nationalist Steve Bannon Discussion with Toronto anti-racist organizers Sharmeen Khan & Rachel Small -> Listen, download & share: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/nohatetoronto In this No Borders Media audio dispatch (October 31, 2018), we speak with two organizers of the Bannon-Frum Toronto UnWelcoming Committee, who are attempting to protest, disrupt and shut down this Friday"s Munk Debate event in downtown Toronto. The event features right-wing neo-liberal David Frum and right-wing white nationalist Steve Bannon, in a so-called debate. Sharmeen Khan, of No One Is Illegal Toronto, and Rachel Small of the Mining Injustice Solidarity Network and Council of Canadians address the arguments in favour of a vigorous campaign of opposition and de-platforming of the active enablers of far-right racism, particularly Trump ideologue Steve Bannon. We also discuss together strategies and tactics of resistance to the rise of the far-right, and the normalization of the politics of hate and blame. -> Listen, download & share: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/nohatetoronto ------- NO BORDERS MEDIA No Borders Media is an autonomous left-wing media network.

In episode #62 of Talking Radical Radio (May 7, 2014), we look at migrant justice organizing in Canada as an inspiring example of how struggles against injustices in the lives of individuals can be integrated into -- and, indeed, can be the basic building blocks for -- broader struggles for systemic change. Deepan Budlakoti talks about his own struggle against an injustice imposed by the Canadian state, and Syed Hussan talks about a number of other examples and about the question more broadly based on his experience as an organizer with No One Is Illegal - Toronto.

This is a two part special on May Day and migrant resistance in Toronto. In the first half, organizers with No One Is Illegal - Toronto discuss the upcoming May 1 2010 Status for All Day of Action and the history of May Day organizing for migrant justice in the city. In the second half we have the radio documentary "On May Day, We March for Justice" by Susy Alvarez, featuring voices from the 2009 May Day of Action in Toronto. In the past 6 years the struggle for justice for immigrants and refugees has grown immensely. Inspired by the individual and collective strength of Mohamed Cherfi, Kimberley Lizano-Sossa, Fahim Kayani, Shamim Akhtar, Isabel Garcia, Wendy Maxwell, the many others that we have known, and the countless others that have had to fight alone, the Migrant Justice movement has forefronted struggles of people of color, women, disAbled and queer migrants, particularly those without full status. From the 2005 No One Is Illegal march from Montreal to Ottawa, to the first Toronto May Day of Action in 2006, to the take over of Yonge and Dundas square on May Day in 2009, we have worked tirelessly to create real meaningful change – stopping deportations, winning access to schools, and changing federal immigration policy.
