For a Livable Future: Building Movements to Stop War & Save the Planet

Welcome to episode three of "Over the Wall: The Abolitionist Hour with Critical Resistance." For listeners new to Beyond Prisons or our collaboration with Critical Resistance, this is a new, regular series that premiered in September of 2023. Hosted by members of Critical Resistance's The Abolitionist Editorial Collective, "Over the Wall" discusses articles and key interventions made by Critical Resistance's cross-wall, bilingual newspaper, The Abolitionist. This special episode focuses on both issues of the newspaper that Critical Resistance (CR) published in 2024: Issue 41 on ecological justice that printed in June and Issue 42 on anti-war organizing that printed in December. Episode 3 is titled, "For a Livable Future: Building Movements to Stop War and Save the Planet," and Dylan and Molly are back, analyzing the shifting political terrain ahead and what this means for organizing against the prison industrial complex (PIC), against war, warmaking, and militarism, for ecological justice and collective liberation. Together, they discuss key articles within both Issues 41 and 42, which foreground organized resistance to climate change, ecological collapse and crisis, war, genocide and imperialism, alongside policing and imprisonment. This episode includes a few contributing authors of both issues, including Rehana Lerandeau, Eva Dickerson, Judah Schept, Masai Ehehosi (who Issue 42 is dedicated to), Misty Pegram, and Tia Marie. Issue 41 is available for free download on CR's website, along with some early release articles from Issue 42 while the latest issue is still in print circulation. Check out the newspaper, Issue 41 in full and the Issue 42 sneak peeks, as well as all past issues at: criticalresistance.org/abolitionist. The time is always right to support radical political education!
