With @LowCarrie for the launch of the Gender-Based Violence Doula Toolkit. Carrie is so amazing for how she advocates for survivors with so much courage and grace while living through such deep trauma. ❤️❤️❤️

Through deeply fierce and impactful writing, @ElJonesPoet examines the violent colonial and anti-black racist legacy of prisons.
In Abolitionist Intimacies, we understand the necessity of bringing intimacy and care to the abolitionist movement.
