#23 A Skater's Intro to Abolition w/ Alan Eladio Gómez

What's up skater's? We'll make this quick. The Southwest dudes (Ted S [the person who writes these notes] and Ryan)sat down with ASU professor and abolitionist Alan Gomez to discuss police and prison abolition strategies and the enduring carceral society we live in. This is a broad talk with a lot of branches so make sure you're ready for a ride. Tommy Guerrero was kind enough to join us on a call to discuss the story beyond his now-iconic "End Racism" board from the '80s. (37:35) Thank you to everyone for listening. We hope this helps.
