BONUS! Participatory Defense Hub

Our Political Moment

In Episode 1 we heard from Mass Liberation organizer Akeem Sims. During his story he talked about his experience and work with The Participatory Defense Hub. That conversation didn’t make it into the first episode– so we are sharing it now! Every Thursday from 6-8pm in West Philadelphia at 4901 Kingsessing Ave. this group meets to help people facing charges, their families, and communities to impacted. To explain what the Participatory Defense Hub does let’s listen to Akeem explain the power of organizing people!

Mass Liberation Campaign is also pushing our listeners to support the Dignity Act discussed in our last episode. You can sign the petition HERE to let Pennsylvania legislators know that you support women who are currently or formerly incarcerated and that they deserve to be treated with dignity.
