The Comrades Classroom Podcast

Disability Justice (Part 2—Classroom Snipets)

In this episode, you'll get to listen in on snippets from our weekly conversations in December and January! Our comrades sat down to talk about the "Cripping Transformative Justice" and the difficulties of addressing harm within collective spaces, accountability, grace, and all the ways we imagine implementing Disability Justice frameworks into our mutual aid work. You're in for a treat—what makes this episode so special is the honest stories told by our members.

In the next two weeks, we will be releasing Parts Three and Four of our disability justice series before switching things up a bit! To support our work please subscribe to our Patreon or donate via Venmo! Listen wherever you get your podcasts—share, subscribe, & give us feedback!

Disability Justice (Part One) w/ Neighbor Programs

In this episode, we sit down at Neighbor School with our homies from Sacramento to talk about Disability Justice and other frameworks of collective care developed by Eliot Fukui. On it, we discuss why we, as a collective, believe it's important to implement practices of Disability and Healing Justice to sustain our survival programs.

Palestinian Liberation

This discussion centers on the movement for Palestinian liberation through sources provided by our wonderful guest facilitators from the Palestinian Youth Movement—follow them @palestinianyouthmovement on Instagram. We outline the barbaric history of Zionism, we discuss the Palestinian Liberatio Front, and we also talk about why the occupation of Palestine is not a "conflict," it's violent settler colonialism.
