Kimball is the leader of the Communist Party of BC. Born on Treaty 6 land in Saskatoon, Kimball's background includes Metis and European settler folks. In 1993, he became the editor of People’s Voice. Today he volunteers at the Centre for Socialist Education on Clark Drive.
Kimball is a long-time activist in movements for labour and Indigenous rights, and in resistance against war, racism, homophobia, transphobia and misogyny. He is active in his housing cooperative, as a strong advocate to stop displacement and launch a massive low-income housing program. He calls to reverse BC's multi-billion dollar tax breaks for the wealthy and the corporations, and to double social assistance and disability rates. "It's not enough to criticize the injustices of capitalism," says Kimball. "We have to get rid of this private profit system, and build a socialist future. Voting Communist is one important step in a struggle to end exploitation, oppression and environmental destruction, and to create a sustainable and just world."
