Join us for We Keep Us Safe: From Police & Prisons to Care & Community with author, community leader, and lawyer Zach Norris and Thrive co-hosts Aryeh Shell & Bethsaida Ruiz.
We are at a historic moment. Our collective response to police violence and systemic racism is creating an opportunity to make a radical shift from a culture of fear and punishment to one of public health and true safety. As we work to transition away from police and prisons to systems of care and community, how can we bridge our divides and dismantle the mentality of us versus them? What are the actions we can take now to #defund our police and prison systems, and to redirect resources to health care, housing, education, living-wage jobs, and programs that support the well-being of our families and communities?
This conversation is part of Medicine for These Times, an online series by Thrive East Bay to nourish our bodies, hearts, minds and spirits as we navigate this time of crisis and opportunity.
