The fiercely independent, proudly polemical and reader-supported BRIARPATCH has been publishing award-winning, hard-hitting journalism and critical commentary out of Regina, Saskatchewan since 1973. In it's 50th anniversary year Unpacking the News is excited to partner with so-called Canada's oldest legacy Left media space for bi-monthly episodes featuring journalists talking about their original insight, analysis and grassroots reporting from the magazine's latest issue.

On this episode social service work educator Griffin Epstein and trauma-informed adult educator Kate Klein discuss disability justice as a lens for organizing collective safety in the labour movement and what the Left risks by erasing or “moving on” from COVID in their new piece 'THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO FIGHT FOR THIS' in the May/June issue of Briarpatch, available now.
