Blueprints of Disruption

Activate the Tenant Class with the Neighbourhood Organizing Centre

Listen on

Episode notes

This installment of the TENANT POWER series features three members of the Ottawa Neighbourhood Organizing Centre (NOC) and their work supporting tenants in their fight against landlords, and of course, capitalism.

The work of the NOC began in the most organic way. By going into their community and talking to as many people as possible. Listening to their neighbours and finding common ground. Overwhelmingly, people needed and most importantly, wanted to fight, as tenants.

Hear how they continue to learn from one another and build power where they are. Quite literally going door by door, building by building and block by block to Activate the Tenant Class.

Guests: Seema Shafei, Shivangi Misra, Ethan Mitchell
