Yeet Cops with Kennedy Bartley

Kennedy Bartley (Legislative Director, United Working Families) went from thinking about her movement work in terms of "I'll die for this" to "I want to live for this." We talk about building the personal and professional infrastructure to support abolition and liberation in the long-term, what qualifies someone as a "comrade," and which slang I can get away with incorporating into my post-quarantine vocabulary.

Check out Kennedy's extended episode at patreon.com/davemaher, which includes extra intro talk and her "Paint Your Hell" segment.
