Chelsea A. Jackson: An Abolitionist Theory of Care
Manage episode 394127702 series 3547798
Chelsea A Jackson is an academic, activist and member of Cradle Community which is a collective of organizers committed to radical education and building understanding of prison abolition and transformative justice. Last year the collective published their first book with Hajar Press. Titled Brick by Brick, the book provides an introduction to abolitionist theory and a manifesto for those of us who want to build a society free from prisons and police.
In this episode we discuss abolitionism and what an abolitionist critique entails in relationship to how we think about healthcare. Chelsea explains how prisons and police shape healthcare provisions in the UK, how austerity has made access to healthcare more predatory and dangerous, and the importance of mutual aid as a tool for building a better system.
