#AZFreeThemAll Teach-In

This special episode is a recording of the #AZFreeThemAll virtual teach-in hosted by the #Arizona3 coalition and Gloria Negrete-Lopez. Yvette, Ale Pablos and Tiera Rainey joined for a roundtable discussion featuring some of the most vibrant abolitionist organizing in Arizona--work that challenges the hegemonic narrative of Arizona as solely a red, conservative state. Importantly centering the voices and leadership of those directly impacted, the roundtable discussion highlighted the efforts of local groups such as the Tucson Second Chance Bail Fund, #KeepAleFree Deportation Defense Campaign and the #AZFreeThemAll action coalition against cages. Tiera, Ale, and Yvette spoke to their community-based defense strategies, including political storytelling surrounding the oppressions faced by Ale Pablos and all others trapped in the crimmigration and prison industrial complex.
