In our final episode of 2021, hear a conversation between LP Executive Director Kemi Ilesanmi and Radical Imagination Fellow Piper Anderson on abolition, mental health, rethinking carceral approaches to harm, and more. Piper discusses her personal journey to abolition work, and projects Mass Story Lab and Rikers Public Memory Project, which use storytelling as a tool to address and name the injustice of the prison system.
