Ep 3: Mutual Aid and Building Antiracist Relationships with Phoebe Brown and Juliana Garcia

A conversation with the Ithaca #BlackLivesMatter activists and
founders of the Mutual Aid Tompkins grassroots networks Phoebe
Brown and Juliana Garcia, just before the Women's Rally for black
lives in Ithaca, NY.  We've had some technical problems
while recording, so in this episode, the story value is higher
than the production value,

Watch the speeches from the women's rally here:

In this episode, Phoebe, Juliana and I talk about building real
relationships for anti-racist work, feeding each other during
COVID, the gap in the experience of black parents and white
parents, and the actions white parents can take to so their kids
and themselves will be less likely to behave in unintentionally
racist ways (for example, learn about the racism in Dr. Seuss
books here:
https://www.tolerance.org/magazine/its-time-to-talk-about-dr-seuss).

We dedicated the episode to Breonna Taylor, and encourage you to
donate to the #sayhername project:
