We spoke with Oakland based activist, playwright, poet, radio host, and former mayoral candidate, Cat Brooks. Brooks talked about her work with the Anti-Police Terror Project — a coalition dedicated to the eradication of police terror in communities of color — the trauma that police terror and unjust systems inflict on people and communities, and why she believes so-called radical policies like defunding the police are in reality rational.
