Abolition as Resurrection is a podcast miniseries co-produced and co-hosted by Camille Hernandez and Jia Johnson that is created for the Lenten and Easter season. This podcast seeks to understand abolition without co-opting or inserting ideologies that have not been consistent with the movement. Through interviewing abolitionists, theologians, and scholars our goal is to understand if there is a relationship between the theology of Resurrection and the Abolition movement to discover if we can find a path forward that we can implement in our everyday lives.
