Housing justice and anti-colonial movements

11:59am - 12:58pm

This special broadcast on CiTR 101.9 FM in the greater Vancouver area is hosted by Stefan Christoff and features audio from a national housing justice gathering that took place in Montreal in March 2025.

The specific panel highlighted here is called "Housing justice and anti-colonial movements," Stefan Christoff and featuring Robbie Madsen, writer & ethno-botanical healer, Ahmed Abu Shaban, Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Al-Azhar University, Gaza and Tiro Mthembu grassroots community organizer with Good Trouble Network YQR (Regina, Saskatchewan). The panel was described this way:

"This panel examines the deep intersections between the fight for housing justice and the ongoing struggles against colonialism. Featuring Indigenous voices from Turtle Island to Palestine, the discussion will illuminate how displacement, land theft, and housing insecurity are not isolated crises but systemic tools of colonial capitalism. Panelists will explore the ways communities resist the commodification of housing and land, reclaim sovereignty, and build collective alternatives rooted in justice and self-determination. This session aims to foster cross-movement solidarity, recognizing that the struggle for a home is inseparable from the broader fight for liberation."
