QUICK EPISODE OVERVIEW

In this week’s episode April and Tracie reflect on Juneteenth and continue to think about how liberation from enslavement looked different for Jews and Black people. April also shares the ways in which the importance of rest from labour is an important lesson that resonated with her this Juneteenth.

In lieu of discussion questions for this episode, we encourage you to read more about April’s reflections at the Joyous Justice blog: Dancing toward Collective Liberation: Making space for healing and organizational growth.

For our white allies and co-conspirators, on this Juneteenth, we ask you to reflect on the history behind this day’s existence, that freedom was delayed because Enslavers in Texas purposely denied enslaved Black people their freedom in order to maintain their socio-economic power a bit longer. What are the ways in which you can commit to not being a force delaying our collective liberation? Check out Grassroots Reparations and take the Reparations Accountability pledge as a first step.
