THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen : FIRST … Almost three weeks ago 22 year old #MahsaAmini died in custody in Tehran after being detained by Iran’s ‘morality police’. In the days since her death, thousands have taken to the streets – originally to protest against the country’s hijab laws but expanding to protests and long simmering resentments against religious and political oppression by the current regime. We’re joined by Gelare, an Iranian artist and activist now living in Los Angeles, to get a perspective on the roots of what’s being called a Feminist Revolution happening in Iran.
AND … Angela Y. Davis talks Abolition Feminism … ” Prison abolition needs Feminism, it needs anti-racist, anti-capitalist Feminism … ” –
Since 2020, the movement to defund the police became a rallying cry to reimagine our approach to public safety. We hear from Angela Y. Davis and other renowned scholars about how we can build a global movement to spark lasting change, dismantle oppressive systems and the shared strategies an internationalist movement needs to to abolish policing and prisons.
Featuring: Angela Y. Davis, Lorgia García Peña, Medhin Paolos, and Leti Volpp. Moderated by Makani Themba.
