This week we hear from  queer, Maori-Polish writer, abolitionist and organiser, Julia Rose Bak, about the concept of disability justice (First aired on Radio A and A, also see Disability Justice network mutual aid fundraiser). The summer of 2021-22 has seen a new wave of the Covid-19 pandemic with the Omicron variant, mass illness and death in an environment of woeful state responses and complacency. In the second half of the program, Polly, a queer academic and consultancy researcher, speaks about the Omicron summer crisis and how the left should respond.
