146, Shiri Pasternak on the book Disarm, Defund, Dismantle- Police Abolition in Canada

On Free City Radio today an interview with author, educator and activist Shiri Pasternak who speaks on the collective book "Disarm, Defund, Dismantle- Police Abolition in Canada." The project is described this way: "Canadian laws are just, the police uphold the rule of law and treat everyone equally, and without the police, communities would descend into chaos and disorder. These entrenched myths, rooted in settler-colonial logic, work to obscure a hard truth: the police do not keep us safe. This edited collection brings together writing from a range of activists and scholars, whose words are rooted in experience and solidarity with those putting their lives on the line to fight for police abolition in Canada. Together, they imagine a different world—one in which police power is eroded and dissolved forever, one in which it is possible to respond to distress and harm with assistance and care."
