Join the Making Mensches team (Elana, Jesi/Rocki, and Jessie) and Rachel Joy (they/she) for the third episode of our Judaism and Abolition series!
Rachelis an abolitionist social worker, lay leader, and organizer. Rachel has been teaching, leading Jewish services, and community building with folks inside jails for the past five years and spent the past 9 months organizing with Matir Asurim: The Jewish Care Network for Incarcerated People. Rachel also started the NYC Resource Library - a database of free resources across NYC and an in-person mutual aid distribution.
In this episode, we talk about supporting Jewish folks who are incarcerated, the connections between anti-zionism and abolition, the importance of our own healing when engaging in movement work, racism in Jewish communities, how to get involved in mutual aid/organizing work, and soooo much more.
It was a true pleasure to get to talk to Rachel and this episode is so full of wisdom. We hope it moves you in the direction of community and true justice <3
Big thanks to Rachel for this conversation, Jesi for being part of the team, Jessie for editing the podcast, and to Nate for our podcast music. If you want to support our work, you can do so here.
