The Up the Hill - Down the Hill Dynamics & Organizing around Housing and Public Health

About the participants:
Manuel Johnson has been involved in Quebec social movements for the last 14 years, most particularly in housing, community development and access to justice. Presently, Manuel is working as a lawyer at the Services Juridiques Communautaires de Pointe Saint-Charles et Petite-Bourgogne in Montreal. In addition to representing individuals eligible for legal aid in civil and administrative matters, the center also works on the promotion and defense of collective rights in order to link individuals' issues to more fundamental structural imbalances, as well as engaging in popular legal education.

John Bradley worked as a developer of social housing for over twenty-five years and, more recently, as a community organizer dealing with questions of the social determinants of health and the threats to our publically-funded health care system. He is also working on developing popular education workshops on the economy and the political economy of ecological crises.
