First up, we are hearing from Creative Justice co-director @NikkitaOliver about the non-profit hunger games to fund the things that DO work. This dynamic exacerbates the scarcity conditions & feeds the #schooltoprison pipeline.
Next up, we are hearing from Mattie Mooney of Trans Women of Color sharing the experience of Black and brown trans women and what they need to feel safe and protected.
