À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Season 4 is here! And we're back, with a series of intergenerational conversations between elder and younger organizers about important topics in our movements today, produced by the National Council of Elders,
First up: we're digging into the work of building networks and practices of community safety, mutual aid, and transformative justice, and in resisting the construction of new prisons and cop cities.
