There are a number of new categories for photos to reflect the diversity of the kinds of citizen engagement that goes on here in Edmonton. They include:

  • Arab Spring – Rallies supporting the uprisings in Libya, Bahrain, Egypt, and Syria.
  • Local Issues – Issues specific to Edmonton, as opposed to global movements.
  • May Day Marches – Formerly only linked under Labour, the annual May Day March now has a category of its own (like the Pride Parades).
  • Occupy Edmonton – A movement spawning many actions – enough to have its own category.
  • Organizations – With subcategories for such organizations as the Parkland Institute, Council of Canadians, Edmonton Anarchist Book Fair, Edmonton Small Press Association, and others.
  • Political Actions – Rallies and events that deal specifically with politics, like trying to influence public policy on a particular matter or broader issues like the (defeated) SPP and recent Robocall scandal.
  • Women’s Issues – Events dealing with human rights issues pertaining to women.

    Welcome to Radical Citizen Media. This website and blog is a portal to visual documentation of the activist scene in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Links to photo sets are organized by topic in the handy menu along the top of the screen.

    Photos on this site date back to 2005 (some earlier) and represent many, many marches, rallies, and events. Even still, it is by no means a comprehensive archive of all activist happenings in the city. I hope it inspires others to get out there with cameras and record the world around them.

    Many of you will know that the galleries appearing here were previously at another site called RaiseMyVoice.com. Why a new site? Well, the old one was getting cumbersome to update. Many of the categories were out of date or needed further subdivision. WordPress to the rescue! I also felt it was time for a new name that better captured the spirit of this ongoing project. Some of the photos are still hosted at the old domain, and I’ve kept my email address the same.

    Peace and solidarity to all visitors!
