About

In this episode Dave talks with Bridget Harilaou about the recent Imagining Abolition Conference organised by Sisters Inside. Bridget discusses the ideas that were discussed there, their implications for struggles and the kind of future abolishing prisons points to. She digs into how prisons quilt together histories of colonialism, the operation of patriarchy and the oppression of Indigenous people and thus why the struggle against them is so important. Bridget’s work can be found in many places. Here is some of it:  Flavours Of Forgiveness — What Bao Tells Us About Family What we get wrong about smart Asian kids Why Asian Australians should call out racism beyond their own culture Activist Or Professional? A Feminist Question Sisters Inside do lots of amazing things. They are currently raising funds to free Aboriginal women imprisoned for the non-payment of fines. Chip in if you can
