Jessica Rodriquez, a member of Take Back The Bronx and works with Root & Branch Collective NYC, will join us in a discussion concerning obtaining accurate information from inside jails and prisons about the horrors of prison slavery. To that end, another group has emerged called Eyes On You NYC that is taking up some of these issues. I am a mother and a grandmother who has a son who has been through the system his whole teenage life and adult life. All my children and grandchildren's fathers have been held captive at one point or another in these cages they call jail/ prison. As part of the Eyes on you Committee, it is our goal to push our way into these cages to directly speak with the people who are suffering there. We want to be the eyes and ears to deliver accurate and true information about the horrors that go on inside, we want it to be told directly from those suffering. We want people released. Cages kill, we know this. They kill not only the spirits of our people but their physical bodies as well. - Jessica Rodriquez Jamal has been a Take Back The Bronx Member since 2019, a writer, political organizer born and raised in the Bronx.

Join Tag and Scotty as they speak with Max Parthas, a former co-host of New Abolitionist Radio and the current executive producer and co-host of the Abolition Today radio show and podcast. We will be talking with Max about the latest developments in the New Abolitionists Movement to abolish slavery first by removing language from individual state constitutions and the US Constitution's exception for slavery and involuntary servitude, which allow both practices in the United States in federal, state and private prisons. Max Parthas's Bio: Max Parthas is a multi-published, multi-recorded, Spoken Word Artist, Slavery Abolitionist, and Social justice Activist.  Mentored by poetic activist legends Abiodun Oyewole of The Last Poets, and the leader of the Black Arts movement Amiri Baraka, Max comes from a proud lineage of artistic social changemakers. In addition to being named national Poet of The Year twice, he is the recipient of the Missouri CURE Marc Taylor Activism Award, the Will Bell Humanitarian Award, and the “In The Spirit of Malcolm X” award from MX Media for his abolitionist activism. His decades-long volunteer work includes being the current Acting Director for the Paul Cuffee Abolitionist Center in Sumpter, SC. A State Operations Co-Director for the Abolish Slavery National Network. Abolishslavery.us. and Co-host/Executive producer of Abolition Today (a unique online modern-slavery abolition episodic podcast with an international audience.) abolitiontoday.org In the past 5 years, Max Parthas was instrumental in organizing two of the largest prison slavery work strikes in US history. (2017/2018) where he also spoke as a keynote speaker.  He directly assisted in removing slavery exception clauses from the state constitutions of Colorado (2018), Utah, and Nebraska (2020). And aided in divestment campaigns that have cost private prison industries over 15 billion dollars to date, and according to recent speculations, left one of the largest privately owned corporations on earth (The GEO Group) near bankruptcy. 48% chance. Max has also been key to organizing over 30 states under the ASNN objective of ending constitutional slavery. Tennessee and Oregon are already ballot items for 2022 and over a dozen others states presently have similar anti-slavery legislation making its way through bill processes.

In this episode of New Abolitionists Radio, Tag connects from the field with other activists participating in protests at three different jails in New York City. The protests were in coordination and solidarity with Palestinian prisoners with April 17th being designated Palestinian Prisoners Day. Tag spoke with Johanna Fernandez of The Campaign To Bring Mumia Home, Grace and Bailey of IWOC NYC over the phone from each of their protest locations. Abolitionists worldwide including those in New York, engaged in an all-day phone, fax & social media zaps to pressure officials administrating legalized slavery in the midst of the global pandemic. Palestinian Prisoners have a central yet simple message that says from "From the River to the Sea, All the Prisoners Must Be Freed' and it is in that spirit that New Abolitionists join them in solidarity on the global issue of legalized prison slavery. During the episode, we will also hear calls from prisoners trapped behind bars during a global pandemic courtesy "It's Up to Us to End Mass Incarceration" Online Resources The Campaign To Bring Mumia Home NYC IWOC It's Up to Us to End Mass Incarceration Tatiana #letThemGo Palestinian Prisoners' Day of Action: https://samidoun.net/2020/04/take-action-phone-zap-for-incarcerated-new-yorkers-on-palestinian-prisoners-day/   Subscribe to New Abolitionists Radio for future podcasts.
