About this episode
The episode discusses how to reframe crises as opportunities for social change and organizing.
It is important for organizations to do all they can to tap into and maximize people’s energy in times of crisis to propel our work and fight for justice. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the final piece in a six-part series titled “Abolitionist Lessons from the Prison Belts” in Inquest called “Finding the Opportunity in Crisis”, which features a conversation between Lydia Pelot-Hobbs, Judah Schept, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, and Craig Gilmore about the importance of reframing crises as opportunities for turning organizing, movements, and action into real change and progress, and what we learn and take away from this incredible piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.
