We listen to Episode 1 of Liberation Loops, a new 3CR mini series produced by Carly Baque. The series explores the different practices people are using to challenge the criminal legal system, how folks are already addressing violence in their own communities and some of the ways people are learning to heal from harm. In the first episode Carly speaks to Bridget Chappell (Hextape) about their project To (Phase) Cancel The Cops.Click here for information about their upcoming exhibition No Comment.
