This week we deep dive with Stacey Little & Ashley Braxton of the Central Ohio Freedom Fund. The Central Ohio Freedom Fund (formerly Columbus Freedom Fund) is a community bail fund centered on Black liberation and freedom started in 2019. We discuss Issue 2 on the November ballot, the history of abolition and the current movement to abolish the prison industrial complex. As defined by Critical Resistance, PIC abolition is a political vision with the goal of eliminating imprisonment, policing, and surveillance and creating lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment. Resources mentioned in this episode can be found via organizations such as Critical Resistance and Incite! and the work of Angela Davis, Mariame Kaba, and Ruth Wilson Gilmore.
