In a time marked by rising division, economic strain, and global conflict, how do we practice justice, equity, and compassion in real, grounded ways? Drawing from his work in public education, labour organizing, anti-hate advocacy, and community music, Nigel reflects on what it means to build solidarity across difference. Through story and song, he explores how communities can resist fear, reject scapegoating, and nurture hope — not as sentiment, but as disciplined action. Justice is not an abstract principle; it is something we practice together. Speaker: Nigel Barriffe Service Weaver: Peter Music: Spirit Choir
