The Quest for the Offline Left: The Social Solidarity Economy with Marcus Peters

In Episode 29, we sit down with Marcus Peters, an activist and organizer based in Montreal, to discuss the social solidarity economy. We talk about what a co-op is, why they're important for the Left, and how they can give workers control over their work. We also discuss a new union Marcus has been organizing in the forestry sector. Finally, we get into the problem of wreckers — and how to organize effectively in spite of them.Part of the series The Quest for the Offline Left.Show NotesAbout SEIZESEIZE on FacebookSEIZE on IGTree Workers Industrial Group (TWIG)Hive Café Solidarity Co-opReggies Bar Solidarity Co-opFollow Fucking Cancelled on Instagram.Find merch in our shop.ClementineMorrigan.comJayLesoleil.comTheme song by ST x LIAM.Mixing and editing by Charlotte Dora.
