Listen "Police Violence Is a Disability Justice Issue"
Episode Synopsis
In our collective push for abolition, we must keep disability issues and justice at the forefront of our work. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss a piece by Derecka Purnell called “Police Violence is a Disability Justice Issue” that was featured on the Boston Review website (and is an excerpt from her new book), which examines historical and recent examples of the experiences of disabled Black folks in this country, and reminds us of the importance of considering the intersections of ableism and state violence as we fight for disability justice alongside abolition.
