220, Voicing housing justice in Parkdale, Toronto

In this interview we hear from Bob Rose a long term community organizer who has worked in the low income Parkdale area of Toronto for many years. Bob speaks about the urgent need for housing justice across the board and speaks to the challenges that frontline community organizers who are supporting low income tenants face without there being larger structural policy change. Bob has worked with many organizations and has been staff at Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre (PARC) for many years. This interview series takes place in collaboration with SEIZE and takes place as part of an effort to asses and speak to the realities, challenges and critical importance of networking across housing justice struggles in Canada.
