On episode 7, Abolition Addresses Gun Violence, Adam, Crystal and Ra hear the story of a currently incarcerated individual. Together, the hosts talk about the lineage of harms that led to his own participation in the cycle, as someone who has caused this type of harm. We also discuss the failures of our systems as a vehicle for safety, and the type of care and work that is most responsible for creating a new pathway.

In this season of Abolition is for Everybody, we talk about harm–what creates it, what recycles it, and how we can find our way to meaningful means of repair. To do this, we talk to folks who have caused harm, folks who prevent it, folks who experienced it, and we learn a lot about how often harms intersect, or grow from the same root. We’re excited to have these conversations with you!
