Vancouver voices for housing justice, 08/2024, for CiTR, a report by Stefan Christoff

Free City Radio

This is a report based on recordings that I did at Spartacus books in Vancouver surrounding a gathering focused on building connections between housing justice activists in Montreal and Vancouver. Airing on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 10am Pacific time at https://www.citr.ca This gathering builds on my involvement in a report titled "From Crisis to Consensus: A survey of 60 housing groups from across Canada," which you can read in PDF format here: https://www.solidarityeconomy.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/housing-design-draft-v4-EN-online.pdf The accompanying photo was taken at Spartacus books. I recorded the voices of Mariah Gillis of the Vancouver Tenants Union speaking about their work. Filmmaker Imtiaz Popat on displacement in Vancouver that is impacting socially engaged artists and Lina a community worker with the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre. I produced this segment for broadcast on CiTR 101.9FM in Vancouver. Thank you for listening! - Stefan.
