Activists Make History: Draw the Line with Atiya Jaffar
Description
The 350 Canada Campaigns Manager collaborated with climate, labour, Indigenous, and social justice movements to draw the line against fossil fuel expansion.
On September 20, 2025, thousands of Canadians took to the streets uniting climate justice, migrant justice, economic justice, Indigenous rights, and anti-war movements, calling for government action. Helping coordinate the more than 70 community demonstrations across Canada was Atiya Jaffar, National Campaigns Manager at 350 Canada. Activists from interconnected movements refused to stand by and accept the status quo.
On this episode of Activists Make History, host Peggy Nash talks to Jaffar about building cross-movement solidarity to strengthen the fight for a green future.
