Race Forward is excited to premiere a new iteration of our FRED Talks
(Facing Race Elevating Democracy) video series!
We traveled to Tucson, Arizona to explore why it's important to build
solidarity across movements to end mass incarceration and detention.
Stream
[link removed]
our two-part, sit-down conversation between Dawn Harrington, Executive
Director at Free Hearts
[link removed]
, a nonprofit organization created to reunite families affected by
incarceration, and Jessica Rodriguez, an immigrant rights activist and
Director of the Southside Workers Center
[link removed]
, which supports a community of worker-leaders that organizes to raise
the standard of worker conditions.
In the video, Dawn and Jessica talk about the major role capitalism
plays in the detention and incarceration of communities of color, and
discuss strategies to target the root cause issues that cause systemic
oppression.

This month we hear from our Development Associate, Joseph Haverlock
[link removed]
!
[link removed]
"I'm really excited about The Good Place
[link removed]
. The show tries to answer the question, "What does it mean to be a good
person?" By following the four main characters on their journey to
become better people, the show has evolved over time— reframing the
focus from whether or not you're actually deemed a good person, to
whether or not you're actively trying to be a better person. It has
caused me to reexamine my own philosophy on morality, the afterlife, and
what we owe to each other as humans."
