The New September/October Issue is Alive!

Alive meaning online, of course. Our contributors put their hearts and souls into this issue and it shows. Beautiful artwork and unique writing on a wild host of topics. For example, what do hunger strikes mean, where do they come from, and why are they so upsetting to people? As a medical doctor and writer, Baijayanta Mukhopadhyay offers a one-of-a-kind perspective on the history and power of political starvation in our cover feature, "Hunger's Empire."



The issue is stacked with testy content, with feature articles on

• the righteous fight by farmers to keep Monsanto alfalfa out of Canada (it's more than a sandwich topping, city friends!)
• the uncanny relevance of revolutionary martyr Rosa Luxemburg
• a firsthand account of surviving Canada's forced adoption regime for Indigenous children known as the Sixties Scoop
• resisting racist police
• healing from sexual violence
• the problem with all this talk of bullying (we have to do better: have a read)

And more! Peruse the whole issue here.
