Grassroots Campaigning with Artist & Activist Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin

Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin is an eco-socialist, a community activist and a musician. While I met him through climate protests, he has also been a campaigner on housing, workers' rights, Palestine solidarity, and anti-racism. He's running in this General Election for People Before Profit in Dublin Central.
