Veteran activist and author Judy Rebick has spent nearly half a century trying to transform the NDP into a left wing party tied to social movements.
Rebick sits down with managing editor Martin Lukacs to discuss that history, and why she’s now betting on Avi Lewis’s campaign for NDP leader.

The Breach’s investigations don’t just inform our readers—they force the powerful to react.
An exposé on blood plasma privatization led to national headlines. Our revelations about the government’s cozy connections to Big Pharma sparked a parliamentary probe. A report on high-tech price-fixing by mega landlords resulted in a criminal investigation.
From activists to elected officials, people are using The Breach’s journalism to push for transformative change.
