Sounds From the Borderlands by aaronmaiden

Who is illegal? Can human beings be illegal? What does illegal sound like? As the eco-systems and economies of our world collapse, human beings are being forced from their homes and communities, and migrate towards the North. When they arrive in Western countries like Canada, they are confronted by borders, immigration agents, racism, and the constant refrain that their very presence on this stolen indigenous land is illegal. At the same time, there is a global movement that is loudly declaring “No one is illegal”, and is empowering migrants to assert their rights to remain.

De-listing Caravan Seeks Justice for Abdelrazik at the UN
Montreal activists travel to New York to abolish the UN 1267 blacklist

by Aaron Lakoff

New York City - June 17, 2011

A seven-person delegation of labour activists, religious community activists, indymedia journalists, and migrant justice organizers from Montreal joined Project Fly Home on a caravan to the United Nations in New York City today. Project Fly Home is a Montreal-based collective which has been working to support Abousfian Abdelrazik, a Canadian citizen of Sudanese origin who has been placed under severe sanctions by the UN 1267 committee.

From June 6-10, 2011, community radio broadcasters of all sorts gathered in Halifax, Nova Scotia for the annual National Campus/Community Radio Conference (NCRC). As in previous years, a full day of the conference was devoted to the Women in Radio conference, looking at the contributions of women in the sector, and also strategizing to bring down patriarchy on and off the airwaves.

I interviewed 4 women at the NCRC who come from different parts of the country, and are all doing inspiring radio work, bringing issues of gender, colonialism, and international solidarity to the forefront.
