Podcasts about Sisters Uncut

This month we are joined on the panel by Françoise Vergès, author of A Feminist Theory of Violence and A Decolonial Feminism, and Aviah Sarah Day and Shanice Octavia McBean, co-authors of the forthcoming book, Abolition Revolution.  Our discussion focuses on the connections between carceral feminism, racial capitalism and the structural violence perpetrated by the state. We also talk about the political journey of Sisters Uncut, abolitionism, and formulating alternative approaches to questions of protection and justice that reject the logic and infrastructure of carcerality.

Unusually for this show, which normally focuses on long departed historical figures, today we're going to talk about someone who's still very much in the news. Until last week, she was the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, London's police force, and was the first woman and the first LBGTQ person to hold the rank, Dame Cressida Dick. Today, part two of two: we discuss Dick's tenure at the Metropolitan Police, the extrajudicial murder of Jean Charles de Menezes, Dick's cynical deployment of her identity to deflect critique, the spy cops scandal, the botched investigation into gay serial killer Stephen Port, the Met's dismal record on race, and the protests that finally forced Dick out. ----more---- SOURCES: Ramzy Alwakeel, “I Covered Stephen Port's Murders.

Until last week, she was the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, London's police force, and was the first woman and the first LBGTQ person to hold the rank, Dame Cressida Dick.

In this episode, Lambros Fatsis and Melayna Lamb talk about their new book ‘Policing the Pandemic: How Public Health Becomes Public Order'. They discuss how the pandemic has revealed the damaging relationship between public health and public order and explain why we need to explore our assumptions about policing and what it's for. Aiming to shift our world view, they offer suggestions for practical steps towards abolitionist practices and ways of thinking. Further reading: Ida B.

In this episode we speak to Kelsey from Community Action on Prison Expansion (CAPE) about prison abolition in the UK. We hear about the different types of prisons, current expansion plans, community resistance and get a glimpse of what a society without police could be like. This conversation was so rich, thought provoking and just so far our favourite. We hope it challenges and changed you.

Selma James, Sara Callaway, Shanice Octavia McBean & Aviah Day met the Crossroads Women's Centre in London to discuss Selma's latest book, Our Time is Now: Sex, Race, Class and Caring for People and Planet https://crossroadsbooksonline.net Guest Hosts: Selma James is an antisexist, antiracist, anti-capitalist campaigner. In 1972 she put forward Wages for Housework (WFH) as a demand and a political perspective that redefined the working class to include all who work without wages, starting with women, the primary carers everywhere. The International WFH Campaign she founded co-ordinates the Global Women's Strike. She co-authored the classic The Power of Women and the Subversion of the Community. With her husband and colleague CLR James, she worked in the movement for independence and federation of the English-speaking Caribbean. Her much-anticipated Our Time Is Now: Sex, Race, Class, and Caring for People and Planet (2021), together with her first anthology, Sex, Race, and Class (2012), focus on what can be learnt from decades of building an international network. Selma James was recently honoured with the Sheila McKechnie Long-term Achievement Award. She is based at the Crossroads Women's Centre in London. Sara Callaway, Women of Colour Global Women Strike, is an immigrant, active in women's, anti-racist, environmental justice, anti-war and anti-deportation movements for 40 years. Women of Colour GWS (WoC) organises to end sexism, racism, poverty, and every discrimination, police violence and militarism. We are part of the global Black Lives Matter movement, focusing especially on Haiti and Palestine. We demand a care income for everyone, of all genders, who do caring work, including justice work, for people and the natural world; the funds to come from military budgets and corporations. WoC is part of Global Women Against Deportations (GWAD), a coalition of groups organising for immigrant rights. Aviah Sarah Day is at Birkbeck, University of London teaching and researching as her job, and is community organiser the rest of the time. She is involved in the East End branch of Sisters Uncut, a national direct-action collective fighting cuts to domestic violence services as well as state violence. She is also involved in London Renters Union and the Kill the Bill Coalition, a national movement resisting the Police, Crime and Sentencing Bill. Shanice Octavia McBean is a Black feminist activist and writer currently working in the Kill the Bill Coalition. She describes herself as an Afro-Marxist and is currently working on a book on criminalisation, abolition and Empire.

Children in care statistic: the majority of children taken are white, though disproportionately children of colour. But we have figures to show that in some US areas, including in California, the children are largely Black or Native American, a racist tragedy which we must highlight. Also the children in Sherley Oaks in Lambeth, were over 50% Black.

In this episode, we mark the release of revenge thriller Promising Young Woman by discussing the important debates on sexual harassment taking place in the UK. CW: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault. Anna is first joined by film critic and broadcaster Leila Latif to delve into Promising Young Woman and talk about some of the relevant issues it raises. She discusses her brilliant article on ‘Nice Guys’ in the movies and recommends a thought-provoking documentary to accompany your viewing of Promising Young Woman. Anna and Leila think about past depictions of sexual assault on screen and how our understanding is slowly changing for the better. Next, Ammaarah Zayna talks to Anna about her activism and experience as a frontline gender-based violence worker. She discusses the Sarah Everard vigil and the importance of calling out all forms of gender-based violence. As a woman of colour, Ammaarah shares her thoughts on police brutality and the frustrations of not feeling heard until more privileged women speak up. She points out that film is a tool that can not only change perceptions, but that filmmaking can be a healing process for survivors. Finally, ex-police officer and campaigner Susannah Fish opens up to Anna about the shocking sexist obstacles she faced when joining the police force in the 80s. Considering the proposal to place undercover cops in bars, Susannah recounts a horrifying history of undercover policing. She further discusses her campaign for misogyny to be recognised as a hate crime and why we must transform the education of our boys and men. Promising Young Woman is on Sky Cinema and NOW from April 16 2021. Other Movie and TV mentions: I Care A Lot, The Accused, Red Roll Red, Violation, Saint Maud, Sex and the City, Nomadland & Chloe Zhaó’s previous works, the works of Ousmane Sembène, I May Destroy You, Big Mouth.

...: Women of colour resist: In the first edition of the Surviving Society Alternative to Woman's Hour for 2021, Akwugo provides some important analysis on women of colour's activism and resistance in UK, Europe & beyond. *The first direct action of Sisters Uncut was not during the Suffragettes UK red carpet premiere in 2015 - at this point Sisters had already engaged in at least four national actions. Surviving Society unreservedly apologises for this error during the episode. We continue to be very much inspired by the work of activists like Sisters Uncut and our ambition is to show true recognition of this integral organising.

DJ Lippy and Sobering Maid have a new nemesis in the form of Sisters Uncut Manchester! Listen to them talk about how this came about and read out the Sisters Uncut blog post where they declare their mission to oppose anything we do. 

In this fourth episode, Helen Antrobus reflects on the legacy of the Suffragettes who broke the law in protest at women being denied the right to vote. In particular, she explores the experiences of working-class suffragette, Selina Martin, whose hunger strike medal and personal letters are displayed in Represent! Helen also explores objects from recent protests, including a ‘Time’s Up Theresa’ jumpsuit worn by a member of Sisters Uncut during their 2018 BAFTA’s protest and an armband worn a symbol, of solidarity with hunger strikers at the Yarls Wood Immigration Removal Centre. The episode closes with the question ‘if the law is wrong should you break it?’

Part music show, part autobiography, Human Records is a weekly podcast that will expand your understanding of humanity. Join Kathleen as she interviews a diversity of humans, with each guest sharing 7 records to musically illustrate their own journey. In this episode join Kathleen as she interviews Aviah Sarah Day, an academic researching domestic violence and an activist with Sisters Uncut. You can find out more about Sisters on http://www.sistersuncut.org/ Human Records challenges stereotypes by amplifying the voices of those who aren’t well represented in the mainstream media. Kathleen prioritises interviewing the working class, women, people of colour, and those who face challenges because of their sexuality, physical or mental health. Whilst most of the people in the world fall into these categories, our current media is dominated by a minority of white privileged straight men. This podcast offers perspectives that go beyond the dominant ‘white male lens’. If you’d like to walk a mile in another person’s shoes but they don’t fit, then why not spend an hour with them in your ears? If Desert Island Discs were to breed with Humans of New York, this might be the offspring! Produced and hosted by Kathleen Cassidy If you're interested in collaborating do get in touch at humanrecordspodcast@gmail.com

This focus panel on race and racism was recorded at Foyles, Charing Cross Rd, 23rd March 2016 at the second in the Our London event series in collaboration with Compass and co-hosted by Novara Media. One of the greatest aspects of living in London is its diversity, but at the same time the city is striated by racial politics. In London, as throughout the UK, people from BAME groups have been historically much more likely to be in poverty than white British people, as well as suffer from housing deprivation, homelessness and inferior access to healthcare and education. Meanwhile, racist violence is on the rise, with state racisms against ‘Muslimness’, an institutionally racist police and the ‘extreme centre’ of the British political elite enforcing tensions between race, class and nation in a context of increasing immigration and numerous global crises. In response to all of this, Novara Media, Verso and Compass will be co-hosting a panel that focuses on living in London and some of the intersecting oppressions that increasingly define it. Novara Media's Aaron Bastani chairs the panel and is joined by Jumanah Younis of Sisters Uncut, Ash Sarkar, also from Novara Media, Liz Fekete, Director of the Institute of Race Relations and author of the forthcoming Fault Lines (Verso, 2017)and activist and academic Adam Elliott-Cooper. We remember those who died in police custody and ask: What does it mean to call London a multicultural – or even a post-racial – city in the context of neoliberalism? What is the relationship between race and class in the city in 2016 and how should mayoral candidates be responding to these issues?

Campaigners from Housing Action Southwark & Lambeth, Sisters Uncut, and the Sound: Gender: Feminism: Activism Conference 2014, discuss how and why they take action, and former Slits guitarist, the songwriter Viv Albertine tells Emma and Katherine about the politics of punk and fashion.
