Join us for this livestream event with two guests, from the West and East coasts. We welcome a native grassroots organizer and fisherman who would like to remain anonymous. He will use the name "Jim" for this event, and will be discussing salmon fishery issues in British Columbia. We also welcome Nova Scotia's Chris Frazer, a settler professor of Latin American history at StFX University living and working in Mi'kma'ki, the unceded land of the Mi'kmaq people. He is actively in solidarity with Mi'kmaq and other indigenous peoples. During the recent struggles to assert the right to moderate living by fishing lobster, Frazer helped bring together solidarity activists to raise money and rallies to support Mi'kmaq fishers. Born in Vancouver and raised in Alberta, Frazer has been a member of the Communist Party for more than 40 years, and served as the central organizer and then leader of the Young Communist League from 1985-1990. Frazer is also a drag performer and queer activist in the east-coast LGBTQ2SIA community.
Saturday, Feb. 6 @ 12 noon Pacific Time (3 pm Eastern, 4 pm Atlantic).
A web link will be posted closer to the event.
