In this episode of the Spring Radio podcast, labour organizer and former political prisoner Dennise Velasco discusses the ongoing union organizing in the Philippines as well as the situation for political prisoners such as Maoj Maga, and how these struggles connect to the labour movement, Indigenous self-determination, and other movements in so-called Canada.
At Spring’s annual Red October conference, we will be going deeper into the discussion around international solidarity and revolution, along with other talks on state and elections, fighting the right-wing and fascism, and building workers’ power. Join Spring for a weekend of socialist ideas and strategy from October 18 to 20 in Toronto, Canada. Purchase Red October tickets here (PWYC options available).
