To show our support for the McGill solidarity encampment for Gaza, CJLO setup a live broadcast from the Roddick Gates on 5/23/24.  On the Sonics portion, we played artists who have voiced support for the Palestinian people, discussed life on the encampment with one of the organizers, ways you can help the people of Gaza,, the concept of divestment, and Montreal artist, rapper, and activist Narcy called in to discuss the importance of protest.
