We bring into focus the individual faces and unique stories of migrant workers, "non-status" people, and racialized working-class immigrants, who are often left out of mainstream media.

Show Notes:
In late-October, Stefan Christoff was denied entry into Palestine on the way to publicly supporting the Palestinian people's right to education at the World Education Forum in Palestine. Stefan spoke with me via phone today from Amman, Jordan, where Israeli occupation forces had deported him to. He reflects on Israel's increased aggression towards witnesses and social justice activists, the current precarious state of Palestine's education system, and the healing work of international solidarity for a Palestine that is free from occupation, apartheid and colonialism, with a special focus on the global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaign.
Stefan Christoff is a Montreal-based musician, journalist and social justice activist with Tadamon! (http://www.tadamon.ca/). His Twitter feed is http://www.twitter.com/spirodon.
