Bendigo Street Occupation and Activist Community

Wednesday, 31 May 2023 - 9:00am

This week on City Limits we have two special interviews.

In the first half of the show we interview Kelly Whitworth and Mike Collins about their recently published report entitled 'Housing, Activism and Local Government: The Bendigo Street Occupation - a Case Study'. Access the report here and share it around! They discuss this important landmark in Melbourne's housing activism history, as well as their findings and recommendations for how local councils can support community activism.

In the second half of the show we chat with Earthworker Board Member and storyteller Colm McNaughton about the importance of working together and being in community with one another to build long-lasting leftist movements. Colm currently works for a new cooperative-in-the-making: Earthworker's Smart Energy Cooperative.

 

Wednesday 9:00am to 10:00am
Urban environment issues, analysing government services, both federal and state and local campaigns.
