NO ONE IS ILLEGAL RADIO is a monthly news and current affairs show on CKUT
90.3 FM, community radio in Montreal, produced and hosted by members of the
No One Is Illegal-Montreal collective on the first Thursday of every month,
on Off-the-Hour from 5-6pm.

For one year, NO ONE IS ILLEGAL RADIO has brought you voices from the
frontlines of the movements for the self-determination of migrant and
indigenous peoples, against borders & capitalism, racial profiling & police
brutality, and detentions & deportation.

In the past year, we're heard from indigenous sovereignty movements from Six
Nations to Tyendinaga, Grassy Narrows to Kahnawake. We've listened to US
activists fighting for migrant justice, from New York to New Bedford to
Oakland. We've heard from activists in Lebanon, Palestine and England.

We've spoken with individuals who have experienced and survived removals and
detention, and continue to fight against detention centers, prisons and
borders. Locally, we've been inspired by activists fighting deportation,
racial profiling and security certificates

CKUT Community Radio is unabashedly embedded within Montreal's migrant
justice and indigenous solidarity movements.

Please support independent and grassroots radio – and another year of NO ONE
IS ILLEGAL RADIO – by contributing to CKUT Radio's funding drive (visit
