283, Razan Ghazzawi speaking from Damascus on progressive social activism today in Syria

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from Razan Ghazzawi, a Syrian writer and long time progressive voice on Syria speaking from the ground in Damascus. Razan speaks on the key challenges that progressive activists face today in Syria, looking at the importance of voices which are addressing the politics of Sunni victimization that the current government, lead by Ahmed al-Sharaa, has legitimized in some points of political discourse. Particularly Razan speaks about the importance of speaking to realities like the March 2025 massacres that targeted Alawite majority areas along the western coastal regions of the country. Also the lack of systemic action to address wild fires in the hot season of 2025 is addressed by Razan. Critically Razan speaks about new contemporary political autonomous efforts of social justice activists working today in Syria. This interview program is supported in 2025 by the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University. The music track is Passage by Anarchist Mountains.
