This episode features a special interview with Maryam Kashani, an associate professor at the University of Illinois and an organizer with Believers Bail Out, a "community led effort to bailout Muslims in pretrial and immigration incarceration towards abolition". Professor Kashani published the book Medina by the Bay in 2023, which was "an ethnocinematic examination of how multiracial Muslim communities in the San Francisco Bay Area survive within and against racial capitalist, carceral, and imperial logics." https://www.maryamkashani.com
