The call to end modern-day slavery and the prison industrial complex is gaining momentum because of organizers committed to realize the dream of abolition. At upEND, we understand that the demand to end incarceration is deeply linked to the movement to end family policing. Nearly half of the people in state prisons are parents to children under 18, which pushes thousands of kids into the foster system while also destroying their support systems. Then, one in three families dealing with incarceration goes into debt trying to stay in touch with their loved ones due to predatory systems profiting from imprisonment. Our episode guest works to end this cruel practice and keep families connected. Episode Guest: Bianca Tylek is one of the nation's leading experts on the prison industry and the Founder and Executive Director of Worth Rises, a national organization working to end the financial incentives for incarceration. Bianca is a leader in the national movement to make prison and jail communication free, which has saved families more than $400 million and generated two billion additional minutes of call time to date. She also leads the #EndTheException campaign to end prison slavery.

In the first episode of Season 2, we discuss how the movement to abolish family policing is intrinsically linked to struggles for freedom in Palestine and Sudan. Solidarity unites us and makes our movements stronger. Harm is exported and imported around the world. Tactics of family separation in the U.S. through the child welfare system mirror state violence in other countries. Our guests make these connections and invite us all to become internationalists. Episode Guests: Nadia Ben-Youssef is the granddaughter of artists, refugees, and revolutionaries. A human rights lawyer by training, Nadia currently serves as the Advocacy Director at the Center for Constitutional Rights, a radical legal and advocacy organization working with social movements to dismantle racism, cisheteropatriarchy, economic oppression and abusive state practices. Central to Nadia's lifework is a commitment to the liberation of Palestine, and she is a proud co-founder of the Adalah Justice Project. Tarek Ismail is an Associate Professor at CUNY Law School, where he co-directs the Family Law Practice Clinic and Family Defense Practicum. He is also counsel to CUNY Law's Creating Law Enforcement Accountability & Responsibility (CLEAR) project.
