Abolition Today

Attica, #ShutemDown, and 911 (Replay)


Listen Later

We discuss organized prison rebellions past and present. Starting with #ShutemDown2021. 
This week we'll acknowledge many historical events whose anniversaries occurred either within the past week or will come up this week such as the Attica Uprising September 9-12, 1971, which came on the heels of the August 21, 1971 murder of George Jackson, the murder of 6 young black children in Birmingham, Alabama (4 at the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church and 2 others later that day). And of course, yesterday marked the anniversary of 9/11. We'll also be joined by Chinweizu Abu, the Moderator for the Millions for Prisoners Human Rights Coalition to update us on the events and results of the #shutemdown2021 movement.
(Max is still suffering complications from covid and Yusuf is getting his new home in the South in order, so we need another week before returning to live broadcasts.)
