As police violence continues to surge and mass incarceration plagues our communities, people call for the abolition of police and prisons. Tatiana sits down with Professor Alisa Bierria, a professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of California Riverside, to discuss the abolitionist movement.
Thank you to Professor Bierria for their time and for providing us with several resources to advance our abolitionist mission!
Blake celebrates a newlywed Ariana Grande; Tatiana puts you on to all the new music out this week; Daniel reminds us of PRIDE month's importance and UFOs???
