Making Movements IrRESISTible

Labour rights activist and community organizer, Pam Frache from Justice for Workers joins host Jessa McLean to talk about what its like organizing against the likes of Doug Ford.

The discussion centres on how to bring enjoyment and equity to movements, and how to make sure they can sustain the steady political onslaught.

Formerly knows as the Fight for $15 and Fairness, the folks working out of the Workers Action Centre have a lot of experience securing victories and maintaining their momentum in tough times. This episode features some practical knowledge sharing and storytelling that give a picture of what its actually like on the ground advocating for better.

Comparisons are made to partisan spaces in terms of approach, experience and output.

The title of the episode is from a quote that resonates with Pam to "make your movement irresistible".
