This session explores a broad range of grassroots, community-based, and Indigenous resistance movements responding to dispossession, marginalization, and settler-colonial governance. From urban Indigenous housing activism in British Columbia to food sovereignty efforts in southwestern Ontario, presenters critically analyze how people resist, reclaim, and reimagine space. Their work reveals the spatial politics of justice, kinship, and survival in places shaped by state power and structural inequality.
