Black and Audacious episodes
- abolition what? abolition who?
"It never stops being a lot."
If abolition is a destination, which road do we take to get there? Do we abolish the prisons 'and all the people inside of them?' What do we have the capacity to imagine, and what conditions shape that capacity? How do we restore right relationship when someone has done great wrong? How do we endure the hard, hard process of creating a world without prisons and police?
"Safety is not the absence of threat, it is the presence of connection." - Dr. Gabor Mate

2 hr 4 min - Falling through thin ice; breaking paradigms is a practice
Where is your emotional security invested? What does it mean to center Black voices? Which Black voices, and in which rooms? Who 'shows up' and who disappears, and is this paradigm liberating anybody? We continue to process the theory and practice and logistics of being in the room of multiracial organizing in majority white Vermont.
