In today’s episode, activist Naia Lee talks with Gabe Calderón, a nij-manidowag (two spirit) ihkwew (all-gender/transgender) Omamiwinini (Algonquin) and L’nu (Mi’kmaq) and mixed white (Scottish/French) author, poet, artist and educator. They discuss who gets to see themselves in “activism,” and why everyone has a stake in collective liberation. Gabe reminds us about investing in and prioritizing community care when supporting Indigenous youth doing land defence. Miigwetch for joining us, Gabe!
