Episode description

In episode #247 of Talking Radical Radio (November 28, 2017), Scott Neigh interviews Jasmine Thomas. She was a core participant in the Rooster Town Blockade at the Parker Wetlands in Winnipeg this past summer, which for two months successfully defended an ecologically sensitive site in the south end of the city from development. Though the occupation ended in September, the group continues to pursue both legal and political means to stop the development, while also fundraising to cover the costs of defending themselves against a lawsuit for more than half a million dollars in damages launched by the developer.
