"Beyond Stop Harper" Roundtable II: marginalized migrant workers & colonial legacies

Roundtable discussion "Beyond Stop Harper" aired on CKUT 90.3 FM.

The online "Beyond Stop Harper" discussion initiated by the Media Co-op now comes to CKUT 90.3 FM. The station's community news program Off the Hour features a roundtable discussion with Mostafa Henaway from the Immigrant Workers Centre & activist Dru Oja Jay.

We talk about:

+ What is austerity and why is it that the grassroots left uses the term often while the institutional left seldom do?

+ What are the problems with framing an economic crisis as a problem to which people should respond individually? Are there collective solutions?

+ Why is it that voices are the margins of the mainstream economic conversations also find themselves at the margins in grassroots communities? How do make our movements more inclusive?

+ Given that the institutions that are dismantled were the product of social movements, what should we do in terms of organizing and mobilisation? 

This program was aired on December 13th, 2013.
