Abolition isn't scary, it's essential.
from Root Cause Remedies Hosted by Root Cause Remedies
We couldn't think of a better way to kick off 2021 than with a radical conversation on genuine security without policing or militarization. Many people have a skewed or narrow understanding of what abolition is, including us. That's why we decided to end this season dedicated to the connections between Covid-Climate-and Capitalism with a conversation on abolition as the only way to end institutionalized violence on people and land. Because we could have added another "C" to our theme for "colonialism," the underlying -ism that our institutions were built from. Shayna Lonoaea Alexander, organizer against mass incarceration and abolition advocate, talks about why abolition is essential to our conversation to end capitalism. She gives voice to the beautiful and distinct meaning it has for Hawaiʻi and how building it within is the first radical shift to reclaiming our relationship with ourselves and one another. image credit: n/a , please let us know if you do!
