The panelists--a Haitian immigrant, a child of Indian immigrants and a descendant of incarcerated Japanese Americans, respectively--discuss how they each came to abolition work. The discussion will cover what the words abolition and defunding mean in practical terms and why solidarity during this uprising for Black lives is--and has always been--vital. The speakers will also share pressing issues within communities they serve and practical things that individuals can do to be a part of this liberation work.
