How has the pandemic brought increasing importance to community organizing? Join our new host, Shin Ling Low, to meet youth leaders and organizers Faith Paré, Joanna Kanga, and Brayden Sonny White, who are a part of Québec’s rich grassroots culture, and explore how they adapted their practices during the pandemic.
