As part of the live CKUT 90.3 FM broadcast today, on Sounds of Resistance hosted by Samaa Elibyari, community organizer and long-time CKUT volunteer programmer Stefan Christoff will present an extended segment on migrant justice organizing in Montréal. In this segment we will hear audio from an interview with Palestinian lawyer and community organizer Rabie Masri speaking about the Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees in 2003.

This is archive material that Stefan has prepared within the context of the ongoing Community Radio in Action Archive Project. This segment will speak to the post 9/11 political environment in Canada that saw attacks on the rights of migrants and refugees, in this context migrant communities organized collectively for justice and against deportations, this process led to the formation and emergence of projects like Solidarity Across Borders.

In this segment we will also hear from longtime community organizer Mostafa Henaway in an interview recorded on Wednesday, Sept. 18 speaking about the ways to understand the organizing that took place in the years after 9/11 and the current #StatusForAll movement.

Also thanks to Janice Kerfoot for the support of this project on the archiving side.
