November 20, 2008: Organizing For Justice

Canada has abolished capital punishment – so why should Canadians get involved with international efforts to end it? Matt Street spoke with Aubrey Harris, the Canadian coordinator of Amnesty International’s campaign to end the death penalty.

Then Greg Macdougall joined us in the studio to talk about Organizing for Justice, a three-day conference on strategies and actions to promote social, economic and environmental justice. He and Carol Hunsberger also discussed opportunities and challenges of community organizing, including activist burnout and the role of the media. Organizing for Justice runs from November 20-22.
