Tiera Rainey, Executive Director of the Tucson Bail Fund, joins Yvette Borja to discuss a resource document that the Bail Fund co-authored with the Milwaukee Freedom Fund, Community Justice Exchange, Free Hearts, and Montgomery Bail Out: Dismantling Carceral Debt: A Manifesto on Building Debtor Power. Rainey breaks down the devastating impact of carceral debt on formerly incarcerated people, shares how stigma and shame around debt and criminalization makes it difficult to organize around carceral debt, and explains how carceral debt funds critical government services.

Join Dean Spade & organizers from Atlanta as they discuss how to protect our communities against recent threats to mutual aid & solidarity efforts. This event took place on August 17, 2023. In the last year, we've seen attempts to criminalize mutual aid become more common as an authoritarian tactic. The recent attacks on mutual aid organizers of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund brought into full view how charging, surveillance, and targeted criminalization are an ongoing strategy to shut down political movements and community organizing. In this session, we'll be reviewing how media, right-wing movements, and even supposed allies have often latched onto incorrect and spurious claims about non-profit finances, community organizing structures, and basic accounting practices in attempts to stop the solidarity of mutual aid. Join organizer Dean Spade, author of Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the next), along with Kamau Franklin of Community Movement Builders, Zohra Ahmed from the University of GA School of Law, plus organizers from the National Bail Fund Network and the Yellowhammer Fund, to discuss the threats organizers are facing and how we protect each other and social justice organizing. This event is co-sponsored by Haymarket Books and Community Justice Exchange.

Pilar Weiss, founder and director of the Community Justice Exchange, shares with host Rafa Kidvai how the bail process robs entire families and communities of freedom and safety–particularly in the immigration detention system. Also founder of the National Bail Fund Network, Pilar challenges listeners to imagine a world beyond reform–and towards abolition of the prison industrial complex.Visit Repro Legal Defense Fund to learn more. Follow Pilar's work on Twitter @bailfundnetwork.If you have questions about your legal rights or access to abortion, go to the Repro Legal Helpline or call 844-868-2812. If you are being criminalized for something that happened during a pregnancy, go to reprolegaldefensefund.org. 

We must imagine and create conditions and a society that reduces and prevents harm and violence and advances true safety for everyone—a society that doesn't include the prison industrial complex. Listen as Aaron and Damien explore and discuss “Beyond Criminal Courts: Divest and Defund”, a new digital collaborative project from Community Justice Exchange, Interrupting Criminalization, and Critical Resistance, which offers information and resources designed to help people learn about criminal courts and the criminal punishment system in this country, engage with abolitionist ideas and actions, and organize to divest and defund these systems.

Join us for a lively exploration of the concept of "abolitionist safety planning" and supporting survivors from feminists and abolitionists. In situations of domestic violence, survival can become criminalized in unexpected and chilling ways. However, because isolation is a central strategy of abuse, many survivors lack the community and resources needed to find support for both the violence as well as the risks of criminalization. What can concrete support for intimate partner violence survivors look like from a prison abolitionist perspective? What can it look like in practice to support survivors while being acutely aware of both the dangers of abuse and the overwhelming violence of the criminal legal system? Join us for a lively exploration of the concept of "abolitionist safety planning" from feminists and abolitionists, who will share their experiences, challenges, and lessons learned from supporting survivors in situations of active and ongoing violence. Speakers: Mariame Kaba (moderator) is an organizer, educator, curator, and prison industrial complex (PIC) abolitionist who is active in movements for racial, gender, and transformative justice. Kaba is the founder and director of Project NIA, a grassroots abolitionist organization with a vision to end youth incarceration. Mariame is currently a researcher at Interrupting Criminalization, a project she co-founded with Andrea Ritchie in 2018. Kaba is the author of We Do This Til We Free Us: Abolitionist Organizing and Transforming Justice, Missing Daddy, See You Soon and Fumbling Towards Repair: A Workbook for Community Accountability Facilitators with Shira Hassan. Aracelia Aguilar (she/her) is one of the Empowerment Directors at DeafHope, providing direct services to Deaf DV/SV survivors. DeafHope recognizes the system barriers and institutional oppressions Deaf survivors navigate through to get to safety, and Aracelia's advocacy strongly focuses on putting the survivor at the center of the work. Aracelia has also received training under Sujatha Baliga and Mimi Kim to incorporate Restorative and Transformative Justice into the work of DeafHope. Aracelia provides Teen Dating Violence, Consent & Boundaries, and Sexual Violence presentations for Deaf teens at High Schools all over the Bay Area. Rachel Caidor (she/her) has spent over 25 years providing direct service and organizational support to rape crisis and domestic violence survior support agencies in Chicago. She is a member of Love and Protect and supports the work of the Chicago Community Bond Fund. Shira Hassan (she/her) is the founder, co-creator and principal consultant for Just Practice, a capacity building project for organizations and community members, activists and leaders working at the intersection of transformative justice, harm reduction and collective liberation. She is the former executive director of the Young Women's Empowerment Project, an organizing and grassroots movement building project led by and for young people of color that have current or former experience in the sex trade and street economies.

Join abolitionist organizers connecting the dots between surveillance capitalism, border imperialism, and neoliberal prison reforms. A dominant mode of our time, data analysis and prediction are part of a longstanding historical process of racial and national profiling, management and control in the US. In a new report, From Data Criminalization to Prison Abolition, Community Justice Exchange examines the interlocked machineries of migrant surveillance and describes processes of “data criminalization:” the creation, archiving, theft, resale and analysis of datasets that mark some of us as threats and risks, based on data culled about us from state and commercial sources. How might we fight data criminalization on our terms? Rather than being drawn into arguments about privacy, accuracy, or the theatrics of consumer consent and regulatory oversight, we assert that these datasets are inherently illegitimate, and creation and use of them should be abolished. What if we organized our resistance based on that premise? Speakers: J. Khadijah Abdurahman is an abolitionist whose research focus is predictive analytics in the US child welfare system and the Horn of Africa. They are the founder of We Be Imagining, a public interest technology project at Columbia University's INCITE Center and The American Assembly's Democracy and Trust Program. WBI draws on the Black radical tradition to develop public technology through infusing academic discourse with the performance arts in partnership with community based organizations. Jacinta González is a senior campaign organizer with Mijente and leads their #NoTechforICE campaign. Previously, she worked at PODER in México, organizing the Río Sonora River Basin committees against water contamination by the mining industry. Jacinta was the lead organizer for the New Orleans Workers' Center for Racial Justice Congress of Day Laborers (2007-2014). In Louisiana Gonzalez helped establish a base of day laborers and undocumented families dedicated to building worker power, advancing racial justice, and organizing against deportations in post-Katrina New Orleans. Sarah T. Hamid (she/her/no preference) is an abolitionist and organizer working in the Pacific Northwest. She leads the policing technology campaign at the Carceral Tech Resistance Network: an archiving and knowledge sharing network for organizers building community defense against the design, roll-out, and experimentation of carceral technologies. Sarah co-founded the inside/outside research collaboration, the Prison Tech Research Group, and helped create the #8toAbolition campaign—a police and prison abolition resource built during last summer's uprisings against state violence. Puck Lo (she/they) is the Research Director of Community Justice Exchange, an abolitionist organization that supports organizers to fight all forms of incarceration and social control. They spent the last year examining Department of Homeland Security's data regimes and other expanding systems of corporeal theft and predictive criminalization. Harsha Walia (moderator) is the author of Border and Rule and Undoing Border Imperialism and an organizer rooted in migrant justice, abolitionist, antiracist, feminist, anti-imperialist, and anticapitalist movements for over two decades.

Happy New Year from your two favorite Podcast Oligarchs! We’re back with Episode 15 of Smoke Til It’s Gone or Die! Rylee goes hard and brings the highest potency weed they could find, and Patty brought her showtune knowledge. Rylee tells the tale of the real life women of Murderess Row, the inspiration for the Broadway musical smash hit, Chicago. Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner believed in dressing for the job you want, not the job you have, and the job they wanted was to be acquitted of the murder of their lovers. Patty follows up with the crazy woman who threatened to kill Rosemary West in prison, Joanna Dennehy. Joanna is a spine-chilling spree killer whose dual-sided personality was able to get her whatever she wanted. This cold-blooded, knife-wielding dyke will leave you questioning...everything. For Rylee's Probable Cause, please visit and donate to the Community Justice Exchange- The National Bail Fund Network at https://www.communityjusticeexchange.org/. The Community Justice Exchange develops, shares and experiments with tactical interventions, strategic organizing practices, and innovative organizing tools to end all forms of criminalization, incarceration, surveillance, supervision, and detention.  They provide support to community-based organizations across the country that are experimenting with bottom-up interventions that contest the current operation and function of the criminal legal and immigration detention systems.  CJE produces tools and resources for organizers using community justice tactics to creatively tackle multiple drivers of criminalization and incarceration— including, but not limited to, money bail, court fees and fines, probation and parole, pretrial detention & supervision, and immigration detention & supervision. For Patty’s Probable Cause, please visit and donate to the National Veterans Foundation at https://nvf.org/ The NVF’s mission is to serve the crisis management, information and referral needs of all U.S. Veterans and their families through management and operation of the nation’s only toll-free, vet-to-vet helpline for all Veterans and their families, public awareness programs that shine a consistent spotlight on the needs of America’s Veterans, and outreach services that provide Veterans and families in need with food, clothing, transportation, employment and other essential resources.

Under Massachusetts’ Chapter 94G and California’s Proposition 64 Bills it is legal for us two assholes to possess and consume MaryJane, medically known as cannabis, in our respective states. We do NOT condone the illegal consumption, possession, or sale of cannabis in places it’s not supposed to be smoked, man handled, or acquired from a legal dispensary. But we DO condone what the awesome humans at Marijuana Policy Project are doing to support legislation at the state and federal level to decriminalize cannabis across the country, and advocate for those who have been incarcerated for cannabis possession.

EP 22 of the daily podcast, GET THE ROOM NOISE. Months ago, I discovered an interview from Karrie Coughlin with Wilbur Sato. This interview was marked as Public Domain so I decided to experiment with sound design and modified the interview in small creative snippets of audio. I called this project, Bui Doi Journals. Wilbur Sato spent his early childhood in San Pedro and Terminal Island. When ordered to leave Terminal Island, his family went to Boyle Heights before being sent to Manzanar. Just after arriving at Manzanar, Sato, a stamp collector who'd had to leave his albums behind, had a birthday. To celebrate, he recalled that: "œWell, my mother surprised me with a couple of stamps. I didn't know what to do with them. In the past, I would save stamps and I would admire them for their color and design and dream about the places where they came from all over the world. And you'd study places on the map and learn all the capitals and all that, but, gee, after that experience I just, I just couldn't do it anymore. Just because of that connection somehow." The family left Manzanar for Des Moines, Iowa. The transition was difficult; Sato recalled a fellow student punched him in the stomach. Shortly after that, the other students rallied around him. Sato and his family eventually returned to California. Of his Manzanar experiences, Sato said: "œThis alienation that you go through, that stays with you for the rest of your life. Even now you wonder, "Gee, am I a part of this? Are these really my friends?' You just wonder whether or not you're a part. But you just have to put that aside and assume that you are, and just participate."

EP 13 of the daily podcast, GET THE ROOM NOISE. Last year, I wrote a song about my fears of working the corporate 9-5 and falling into a cyclical and mundane lifestyle of money and becoming too comfortable. The bridge of the song is sang in an apathetic tone and recites the words that my therapist told me before starting my new job in Denver. My friend, Dyllan Harrington, helped me record, mix, and master this record and am I very pleased with the final product considering the time and energy that we put into the project in a cabin tucked away in the mountains. This was a new experience for me as I wrote the composition for each instrument and performed on the guitar, bass, vocals, and drums. This record is inspired by the work of Matt Berninger, Black Francis, Alex Edkins, Steve Albini, Kurt Ballou, and the late Grant Simanton. We released this EP under the Band name, Haunting Hands.

EP 12 of the daily podcast, GET THE ROOM NOISE. "The first law of thermodynamics is a version of the law of conservation of energy, adapted for thermodynamic processes, distinguishing two kinds of transfer of energy, as heat and as thermodynamic work, and relating them to a function of a body's state, called Internal energy. The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed."

[Excerpt from the episode]: "It’s in the work right now but it’s something I want to talk about. I’m (Cham Phan) from Sioux falls and there’s a couple things that I want to plug. One is the One Sioux Falls Fund that helps everybody in Sioux Falls that needs help, assistance-wise. Coming up here, if you support the arts, arts is a huge thing for me and I’m working with the Sioux Falls Arts Council director right now to figure out how Kaizen could help their goal of creating a fund for artists. We’re trying to create a fund for artists right now and the wheel is moving. So hopefully by the time this is out, there will be an artists fund from the Sioux Falls Art Council for artists but in the meantime, you can visit the Sioux Falls Art Council website and they set it up so you can support these artists by directly buying stuff from them. That’s what I recommend because at the end of the day, I got into commercial work and making my way of life starting with art. It always will be art for me. So at the end of the day, I urge anyone that can if you're not being completely destroyed by this economically, please support artists. Solely based on the fact that we've been in this struggle before the virus. This is daily life for us. If you think this is hard now, imagine doing this daily with the goal of creating to make people happy. I feel like that’s what all artists are. They want to put their work out there and express things to build connections and have a shared human experience. That’s not always the most profitable way of life so if you can, please support your artists."   MORE KAIZEN Instagram : @Cham_phan Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/KaizenSF/ Website: http://www.kaizensf.com/ From their website: "Kaizen means “change for the better” or continual improvement.

[Excerpt from the episode]: "It’s in the work right now but it’s something I want to talk about. I’m (Cham Phan) from Sioux falls and there’s a couple things that I want to plug. One is the One Sioux Falls Fund that helps everybody in Sioux Falls that needs help, assistance-wise. Coming up here, if you support the arts, arts is a huge thing for me and I’m working with the Sioux Falls Arts Council director right now to figure out how Kaizen could help their goal of creating a fund for artists. We’re trying to create a fund for artists right now and the wheel is moving. So hopefully by the time this is out, there will be an artists fund from the Sioux Falls Art Council for artists but in the meantime, you can visit the Sioux Falls Art Council website and they set it up so you can support these artists by directly buying stuff from them. That’s what I recommend because at the end of the day, I got into commercial work and making my way of life starting with art. It always will be art for me. So at the end of the day, I urge anyone that can if you're not being completely destroyed by this economically, please support artists. Solely based on the fact that we've been in this struggle before the virus. This is daily life for us. If you think this is hard now, imagine doing this daily with the goal of creating to make people happy. I feel like that’s what all artists are. They want to put their work out there and express things to build connections and have a shared human experience. That’s not always the most profitable way of life so if you can, please support your artists."

Today we celebrate June 11th, an international day of solidarity with long-term anarchist prisoners. While this is the sixteenth year this date has been observed, 2020 presents an unprecedented context: both the COVID–19 pandemic and the massive uprising sparked by the police murder of George Floyd have shifted our focus and sense of what's possible. In solidarity with all prisoners, with particular care for anarchists in long-term confinement, we begin by sharing an excerpt from a history of June 11th as a day of prisoner solidarity along with the June 11th call issued for 2020. To these we add a short interview with a June 11th organizer and supporter of anarchist Green Scare prisoner Marius Mason. As politicians raise the specter of “antifa” to divide and defuse the militant anti-police resistance that has swept the US and beyond, we explore state repression of antifascists through an interview with antifascist prisoner David Campbell and his support crew. Another interview with a participant in the South Florida COVID–19 Hotline for Incarcerated People explores a model for prisoner solidarity in pandemic times. We conclude with updates on several long-term prisoners' cases and upcoming birthdays. After today's focus on prisoner struggles, next time we'll return our focus to the Minneapolis uprising and the international movement to commemorate Black lives lost to police violence. {June 11th, 2020}   -------SHOW NOTES------   Table of Contents: Introduction {0:01} June 11th: The History of a Day of Solidarity {6:59} June 11th, 2020: Organizer's Call {23:42} Interview with a June 11th Organizer {30:52} Interview with Antifascist Prisoner David Campbell {41:02} Interview: Update From David Campbell's Support Crew {1:19:42} Prisoner Solidarity During the Pandemic: The South Florida COVID–19 Hotline for Incarcerated People {1:34:59} Prisoner Updates and Birthdays {1:57:05} Conclusion {2:01:16} This episode focuses on June 11th, the international day of solidarity with long-term anarchist prisoners. It includes the 2017 article June 11th: The History of a Day of Solidarity and the 2020 call from June 11th organizers. The history refers to two influential solidarity texts, “To Libertarians” and “Revolutionary Solidarity.” Some of long-term anarchist and anti-authoritarian prisoners in the US that you can support today include Marius Mason, Jeremy Hammond, Eric King, Bill Dunne, Alvaro Luna Hernandez, Michael Kimble, and Sean Swain. For a listing of international anarchist prisoners, see the Brighton Anarchist Black Cross page. We shared an interview with antifascist prisoner David Campbell. Here are some tips on writing to him, and this is his address: David Campbell #3101900657 Robert N. Davoren Complex 11–11 Hazen St East Elmhurst, NY 11370 If you want to virtually visit him, here are instructions: Check the Visit Schedule, then click on the month (e.g. “May 2020”): Rikers folks can have up to three visitations as long as they fall under:1 weekday (Wed or Thurs), a Friday, and 1 weekend day (Sat or Sun). Fill out Televisit Request form: You'll need a photo ID, address, and e-mail to complete the form. You will need to upload a photo of your ID. Up to three people can visit at a time. You will also need to know the incarcerated person's booking and case number; for David Campbell, his booking and case number is: 3101900657. You will be able to choose up to three potential visit times, unfortunately there is no guarantee that you will get your first choice. Wait for an e-mail or call from Rikers telling you the date and time of your virtual visit. This will happen the day before your scheduled visit. (Note that the slot they give you might be different from any of the dates or times you requested). Also check out “Stickup on Rikers,” an article David wrote on the hunger strike he helped to organize in March. Be sure to also check out the June 11th episode from The Final Straw, featuring interviews with a Marius Mason supporter and with anarchist prisoner Jeremy Hammond.

If you want to volunteer or offer other support, or you're interested in starting a similar project, you can contact the organizers at C19inmatehotline[at]riseup[dot]net. To understand the history that led to the arrest of Marius Mason and the emergence of June 11th as a day of anarchist solidarity, it's helpful to learn about the Green Scare, the wave of arrests and state repression against earth and animal liberation movements in the early 2000s.

The killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police has sparked a nationwide rebellion against the police and global solidarity efforts. One of the most striking developments is the announcement on Sunday, June 7 by a majority of Minneapolis City Council members that they intend to dismantle the city's police department. In Episode 77 of the Ex-Worker—the first in a series covering the Minneapolis uprising and its national and global implications—we return to the question of abolishing the police. The episode kicks off with our reflections from these unprecedented first two weeks of rebellion, then shares an essay exploring the question we're all asking: What Will it Take to Stop the Police From Killing? Next, we share an anonymous report on the siege of the Third Precinct in Minneapolis, analyzing how a diverse “compositional” crowd was able to defeat the police. An anarchist from Minneapolis who attended the rally where the City Council declared their intention to end the police department shares their take on the background and context leading to the announcement and how abolitionist organizers, rioters, artists, and others joined forces to make abolition imaginable. We conclude with our thoughts about how the struggle against police might unfold beyond Minneapolis in the months to come. Stay tuned for more episodes soon on the Minneapolis uprising, June 11th, and prisoner struggles, international solidarity with the rebellions, and more! {June 10th, 2020}   -------SHOW NOTES------   Table of Contents: Introduction {0:01} Essay: What Will it Take to Stop the Police From Killing? {10:49} Analysis: The Siege of the Third Precinct in Minneapolis {30:57} PSA: Staying Safe at Street Actions {53:50} Interview: A Minneapolis Anarchist on the City's Plan to Dismantle the Police {55:55} The Path Forward to Abolish the Police {1:08:45} Conclusion {1:17:44} This episode draws on the essay “What Will It Take to Stop the Police From Killing?” and the account and analysis “The Siege of the Third Precinct in Minneapolis.” We also played a PSA on Staying Safe at Street Actions from the Channel Zero Network.

Everyday Black men and women endure racial discrimination, prejudice, injustice, and oppression. Racism is a national crisis and has been since America’s founding. Reading the recent stories of George Flyod and Breonna Taylor, who are among thousands of other Black people victim of police brutality is upsetting and disheartening. I’ve thought very hard about how to approach this week’s episode, while also being conscious of my privilege. In this week’s episode I hope to continue a broader discussion of racial inequality in this country.
