She has been a much loved part of the show since 2015 when her father passed away. Ray is missed by Carolyn, and her beautiful family.Lastly, we will bring you an interview with Rob from Monday Breakfast. On Saturday the 26th of April around 450 activists attended a counterprotest in the name of trans liberation. The action was countering the reactionary 'WOMEN WILL SPEAK' rally, organised by TERFs and white nationalists. A similar event held last year by the Women's Action Group, an organisation dedicated to spouting transphobia, was attended by members of the National Socialist Network. A group of trans and queer people, antifascists, and other allies disrupted Saturday's action by making noise and dancing to music in numbers vastly higher than that of the transphobic rally. Police set up a designated area during the day and used these powers to force activists, many of whom are disabled, to remove their masks before searching them with a wand. VicPol later used brutal force against protestors who were chanting about Victoria Police's murder of Somali man Abdifatah Ahmed in Footscray two weeks ago.  Doin' Time spoke to Rob Harrison, a proud non-binary, transgender and queer person, who attended the rally and witnessed the police violence. They are a co-host of the Monday Breakfast show at 3CR Community Radio. I invited Rob on to the show today because Uncle Ray was very committed to fighting police powers, and always stood in solidarity with our trans siblings. Rob gave an eyewitness account of the rally, and the police brutality.

Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for the 17th of March 2025. On today's show: - Last Tuesday the Allan Government announced that the public housing tower in Flemington, whose residents are currently part of an ongoing class action lawsuit, will be demolished and redeveloped without any new public housing. The decision involves what the Victorian government calls the 'Ground Lease Model' whereby the land is leased to a private company who will design, build, manage and maintain the sites for forty years. Rob spoke with Flora from the Renters and Housing Union to tell us more about this shameful move from the Allan government. The interview mentions this RAHU Fundraiser for the Union's eviction fund, taking place this Saturday at Mamma Chen's from 7pm.

On Wednesday last week the Victorian Government announced it would toughen bail laws to make them the toughest in so-called Australia. Within these laws, the Allan government plans to reintroduce the offence of committing an indictable crime while on bail -- which was scrapped in 2023 following the coronial inquest into the death of Gunditjmara, Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung and Wiradjuri woman Veronica Nelson in custody. The coronial inquest found that Victoria's bail laws were a 'complete and unmitigated disaster' that disproportionately impacted First Nations people, women and children. Maggie Munn, First Nations Justice Director at the Human Rights Law Centre and proud Gunggari advocate from south-west Queensland joined us on the show to speak about these harmful bail laws. Maggie is deeply committed to ending the mass incarceration of their people, and has spent many years as an advocate and campaigning on First Nations children, raising the minimum age of criminal responsibility, and youth justice.Tomorrow at 4:30pm there will be a snap action for Poccum's Law outside Parliament Steps, organised by Flat Out.- The show ends with a conversation with Jay Coonan, spokesperson for the Antipoverty Centre and a jobseeker recipient.

We look at new laws surrounding housing, schools and voting. Plus, a south Georgia immigrant detention center leads the country in deaths in custody, and a new report shows most of those fatalities could have been prevented with better medical care. And a years-long dispute between the City of Atlanta and two then-college students who were pulled from their car and tased by police in 2020 is ending. Also the state of Georgia is on the cusp of permitting a controversial mine next to the Okefenokee Swamp and the federal government is turning to a tool it's never before employed in the east to try to protect the swamp.

Deaths resulting from interactions with the US criminal legal system are a public health emergency, but the scope of this issue is intentionally ignored by the very systems that are supposed to be tracking these fatalities. We don't know how many people die in custody each year, whether in an encounter with police on the street, during transport, or while in jails, prisons, or detention centers. In order to make a real difference and address this human rights problem, researchers and policy makers need reliable data. Our guest in this episode is one of the authors of Death in Custody: How America Ignores the Truth and What We Can Do About It. Dr. Roger Mitchell Jr is a professor and chair of pathology at the Howard University College of Medicine. He is a forensic pathologist who previously served as the Chief Medical Examiner and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice in Washington DC. —- Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post Deaths in Custody – A Public Health Emergence w/ Dr Roger Mitchell Jr appeared first on KPFA.

On this episode of The Black Futurist podcast, host Bryndan D. Moore is joined by two remarkable individuals who are shedding light on a grave societal matter that demands our attention: Dr. Roger Mitchell Jr. and Dr. Jay Aronson. The pair are focused on quantifying and minimizing deaths that occur within the US criminal legal system—a haunting public health emergency that often remains hidden from public scrutiny. As the authors of the groundbreaking book "Death in Custody: How America Ignores the Truth and What We Can Do about It," and the hosts of the companion podcast "Official Ignorance," (produced by Bryndan D. Moore for Hip Hop Caucus) Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Aronson bring invaluable insights and storytelling to the forefront. Dr. Mitchell, a prominent professor and chair of pathology at the Howard University College of Medicine, along with his extensive experience as a forensic pathologist and former Chief Medical Examiner of Washington, DC, shares his expertise on the profound issue of deaths in custody. Dr. Aronson, founder and director of the Center for Human Rights Science at Carnegie Mellon University, and an esteemed professor in the Department of History, contributes his deep understanding of the complex dynamics between science, law, and social justice. The problem, as discussed in this episode, is staggering: a dire lack of reliable data surrounding deaths that occur during interactions with the criminal legal system, whether in police encounters, during transportation, or within detention facilities. The intentional disregard of this issue by the very institutions tasked with oversight magnifies the urgency for change. Join us as Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Aronson passionately articulate their motivations behind their powerful collaborative project, detailing their practical and attainable solutions for accurate data collection and comprehensive investigation into these tragic incidents. Their compelling insights pave the way for a transformed future—one where transparency, accountability, and human rights take center stage. Stay tuned for the launch of "Official Ignorance" in September 2023, and remember that their book, "Death in Custody," is available now wherever books are sold. #TheBlackFuturist #DCRA #DeathinCustody --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theblackfuturist/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theblackfuturist/support
