In episode #458 of Talking Radical Radio, Scott Neigh interviews Brie Villeneuve and Piper Lockhart, both of whom are high school students in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They are also core organizers of Manitoba Students for COVID Safety, a student-led group advocating for safer schools in light of inadequate action from the Manitoba provincial government to keep educators, staff, and students safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. They talk about the pandemic, about the problems with the Manitoba government's response, about the student walkout their group organized in January, and about what needs to happen to make schools safe.
