In our premier episode, we discuss the importance of grounding environmental justice organizing in the theoretical roots of abolitionist movements of the past and present. We also get to know the hosts, Vicky and Jordan, on a personal level, and establish the goals of the show.

This month we want to highlight the ongoing struggle in Columbus against police brutality in the midwest, we want to shout out a group of community members working to shine light on Casey Goodson Jr.’s story and truth in light of the up coming trail of Murderer Micheal Jason Meade. Meade had shot Casey in the back 6 times as Casey was entering his house. Meade is just one example of the how policing has been used as an instrument of terror, because if not for the community outrage I don’t believe there would even be a trail. So help the community members share Casey’s truth to the people of Franklin county or your local region. For more information follow @convictmeade on Instagram, Facebook and twitter and reach out if you want to get involved.
We also want to highlight the case of James Williams, a father who was shot through his backyard fence by canton pd after shooting his firearm in the air on new years. The officers did not name themselves or engage in contact with Williams until after the shooting started. if you want to get involved with these ongoing struggles you can find updates on the Facebook pages of Consistency Speaks and Persistent Media
