Bridget Potasky and rabble's Jack Layton Journalism for Change Fellowship

Since 2017, rabble.ca and the Institute for Change Leaders has presented the Jack Layton Journalism for Change Fellowship: a fellowship with the objective of supporting emerging writers and journalists who are passionate and engaged in developing unique voices in social change reporting. Our current fellow is Bridget Potasky.

This week on rabble radio, Bridget sits down with rabble editor Nick Seebruch to talk about her series on Canada's recent frequent use of the notwithstanding clause and what her plans are after the fellowship wraps.
