41. Sonya Mendoza on Life without Prisons and Police

Prison abolition is creating a world free from violence and harm. It can be difficult for some to understand how this is possible since all most of us have known is a society that is based on prisons and policing. There are so many other ways of supporting and sustaining our society and it requires us to open up to new visions! My friend Sonya Mendoza has been working on prison abolition and anti-racism for 18 years and offered to be on my podcast to help educate folks who might not know where to start or want to learn more to advance this movement. Guided by Black women leaders, Sonya has compiled resources to continue understanding anti-racism and life post-police and prisons.  http://queerfatfemme.com/2020/06/18/resources-for-abolishing-prisons-and-jail-from-episode-41-with-sonya-mendoza/ Bevin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bevinsparty/ Support the podcast: https://www.patreon.com/fkdp
