Scott Neig

I am a writer, parent, and activist living in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada (Atikameksheng Anishnawbek Territory).I recently completed a major book project based on oral history interviews with long-time Canadian activists. It will likely be published in late 2012...more details to follow. I need to completely revamp the project's website, but for the moment you can check out the old site, here:  www.movement-history.ca. For the next year, I will be doing an interdisciplinary MA in the Humanities at Laurentian University.I maintain a personal/political blog on which I post commentary, analysis, and lots of reviews of political books. It is called A Canadian Lefty in Occupied Land, and you can find it here:scottneigh.blogspot.comI have been involved in many different kinds of social change work since becoming politicized as an undergraduate university student. I am currently involved in Sudbury Against War and Occupation, a local group with a broad anti-war/anti-occupation focus; Justice and Freedom for John Moore, a group that supports an unjustly convicted Ojibwe man in his struggle for exoneration; and a new, local alternative media project affiliated with The Media Co-op (a national network of such groups in Canada). I am also a national advisory board member of the radical political journal Upping the Anti.

CRITICAL ACTION

Critical Action is a longtime friend of Z and a music and storytelling project grounded in liberation, solidarity, and resistance to authoritarian power. Through music, narrative, and multimedia, the project engages the same political realities and movement traditions that guide and motivate Z’s work.

If this project resonates with you, you can learn more about it and find ways to support the work using the link below.

Independent media is not disappearing because the ideas are weak.

It is disappearing because platforms reward speed, outrage, and algorithmic visibility over thoughtful analysis.

More than 100,000 people read Z every month, free of paywalls, ads, and billionaire owners. It takes fewer than 1 in 100 of them to fund all of it: 1,000 donors who keep Z independent, for everyone, and build what comes next.
