As Justin Trudeau announced that he’s stepping down as Liberal leader, and many are saying that a federal election is just around the corner, one community is getting organized to make sure they’re needs are heard by politicians.

A Mass Organizing Call for members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community in Canada is taking place on March 9. Its organizer is hoping that this event will help people push back against rising hate, and make sure their concerns are heard by politicians before the next federal election.

On this episode of Sources, Fae Johnstone, Executive Director of Momentum joins PressProgress' Ontario Reporter Eric Wickham to talk about why the time is right to build organizing infrastructure for the LGBTQ+ community.
