Abolition  cannot happen without being intentional about creating a deep community.  We often hear that our liberation is bound up in the liberation  of our neighbor. But what exactly does that mean and how do we get there?

In this episode, in conversation with Rev. Elle Dowd and Alonzo Waheed, we will wrestle with what it means to be in a deep community. How do we work at building community in ways that center accountability instead of perpetuating logics of punishment?  How do we create community cultures that promote both self and collective care?  How do we practice mutual aid as an act of solidarity (redistributing our resources within a community)?
