Cages and Cops Have Failed Us: a Conversation with Radical Activist and Artist Awkword

AWKWORD:
Labeled “Antifa militant” by Andy Ngo and “quite profound” by Chuck D of Public Enemy, AWKWORD has fought for justice and equality through protest song, political organizing, digital strategy and street journalism for nearly a quarter century. He is a co-founder of TEN DEMANDS, co-creator of Ten For Justice: The Road to Abolition, and founding member of Our United Left.
Raised by an activist mother radicalized during the Civil Rights and Vietnam War eras, AWKWORD converted from troubled graffiti artist and Nazi destroyer — angry and acting out at the world’s injustices — to productive organizer at 16, when he collaborated with the Anti-Defamation League to establish what would become his (predominantly Christian, conservative) high school’s annual Diversity Day. That year, he also created his school’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, and spoke for the first time at the town’s Martin Luther King Day celebration.
At Vassar College, AWKWORD served as co-chair of the Student Activist Union, co-founded the Justice Group, and earned his degree in Sociology, with a focus on the intersections of race and class, the prison industrial complex, and homelessness and the politics of public space.

Rest and Resist: the Power of Meditation For The Incarcerated Community w Tim Bryant onelovepmp.org

Incarcerated host Phillip A Jones speaks with Tim Bryant, Founder and Executive Director Hear from Tim: I’ve been fortunate to conduct hundreds of prison meditation programs in the last 15 years. The first time I volunteered at Folsom Prison in California, I didn’t know what to expect. I was amazed at the love and peace I felt walking into the prison, and I didn’t expect to feel that. Eventually, I learned why, when an incarcerated man told me, “Many of us haven’t had visitors in years. Our families have gone. This isn’t a place where your spiritual well-being can be a priority. But when someone from the outside comes in to offer their spiritual support to us, it is priceless.” After 14 years of volunteering in prison and seeing firsthand the need and positive impact of teaching meditation classes, I started One Love Prison Meditation Project.
