Pro-Choice and the Christian Right, Defending Akikodjiwan (Chaudiere Falls) and the Fringe Festival

This episode will focus on reproductive justice and fighting the Christian Right in Canada and the US. We will cover the May 10 pro-choice demonstration against the March for Life, the Christian Right and their deeply patriarchal, misogynistic and transphobic politics. We also have an interview with Matthew N. Lyons, author of Insurgent Supremacists: the US far right's challenge to state and empire. After that we'll have a piece from 2017 about Akikodjiwan with interviews with Albert Dumont, Joan Kuyek and Chief Harry St-Denis. Finally, we end with an interview with Maria-Helena Pacelli, Director of Ultraviolet Life, Ottawa Fringe Festival.
