272, Community organizer Helen Hudson reflects on acting against war and racism post 9/11

On this program we hear from long time community activist Helen Hudson speaking about migrant justice organizing post 9/11 in Montreal and more broadly in North America. This interview is focused on understanding the lineages of organizing between this period and contemporary social movement work taking place to challenge repressive actions against migrant communities taking place today. Helen is a long term community organizer who has a lot to share about grassroots organizing networks and community initiatives in Montreal. This interview particularly focuses on understanding the context around self-organized migrant communities who were struggling against deportations post 9/11 including the Non-Status Refugees Action Committee (CASS) of Algerian refugees, the Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees and the Action Committee of Pakistani Refugees which formed to fight the detention and deportation of members of their communities post 9/11. These forces were central to the formation of Solidarity Across Borders in the city. This interview program is supported in 2025 by the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University. The music track is Passage by Anarchist Mountains.
