~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Listen to Max Rameau from "Take Back the Land' in Miami from his talk in talk Toronto last year, describing the reclaiming of empty, foreclosed housing in that city to house the homeless. Also, his description of 'Umoja Village', a shantytown erected in 2006 in Miami by Take Back the Land for the same purpose. Following this, hear about the 'No More Silence' Campaign and the upcoming event on February 14 to commemorate the 500 missing indigenous women across Kanada and to demand action (or an end to inaction!) on this racist negligence by the Kanadian state to see justice achieved for these murdered women and their still-grieving families. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
