October 19 is almost here. With just days remaining before this vitally important vote, I want you to know that rabble.ca is working hard to amplify progressive voices in this election. Consider donating to rabble. Any amount you can spare to keep rabble’s election coverage going in the crucial final days of the election helps.
Media elites aren’t doing their jobs and that isn’t really a surprise: that is, after all, why I founded rabble. rabble is covering social justice issues and progressive organizations that are making a difference in this election. Whether it’s the Who is She? campaign for a First Nations-led national inquiry of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls or dedicating the resources to broadcast the hugely important “Young, Muslim, and Canadian” all-candidates’ debate, rabble works to amplify marginalized voices across Canada.
Just how hard has rabble worked? Since the writ dropped — or rather, since the writs were issued — way back on August 4 rabble has published around 600 news items, columns, and opinion pieces and posted over 100 podcasts and rabbleTV spots. rabble provided live coverage of every debate; gathered the best of all the activist tools out there in our GoVote section; made election news easier to access and distributed daily and weekly election email alerts. And of course rabble covered the issues Big Media didn’t.
Have a look at just some of the most viewed-election content you may have missed so far:
- Scott Piatkowski blows apart the notion that the Liberals are running to the left of the NDP;
- rabble live coverage of the monumental Leap Manifesto;
- Karl Nerenberg’s podcast on the Trans-Pacific Partnership;
- Ralph Surette on why Harper’s Conservatives deserve to be shattered this election;
- review rabble’s live coverage of the first, second, third (French), fourth, and fifth (French) debates.
