In episode #233 of Talking Radical Radio (August 22, 2017), Scott Neigh speaks with Jean Swanson and Aiden Sisler. Swanson, who has been a participant in struggles for social justice in Vancouver for decades, is running for a seat on city council. She’s doing so at the urging of a network of mostly young activists and organizers, including Sisler. Their goal is to mobilize grassroots movement energies to pry open space in the municipal political landscape to start addressing fundamental social injustices like homelessness and poverty.
