Broad Convos Season 2 Episode 1

Erin talks about how much she adores Connie Walker's latest podcast for CBC, Missing and Murdered: Finding Cleo. Check it out. Then Erin talks with Sarah Adjekum, a Hamiltonian and social worker, about the complexities of responding to the recent Locke Street mob vandalism incident. Sarah challenges us to think about violence as more than a specific incident of physical aggression and expand our awareness of the violence happening every day in our city through consistent poverty, homelessness, and the specific violence of our occupation on Indigenous peoples' lands.  Read Sarah's op-ed in The Spectator mentioned in the episode here.
