Summary
Things have felt heavy lately and I thought we all might need a little hope. This is the audio from an IG live that I shared last week. Take some time to reflect on what it means to be an abolitionist and what that looks like in your life. Love y'all so much!
"Don't get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." John Lewis
Justice in America with Clint Smith & Josie Duffy Rice
Mariame Kaba and Prison Abolition

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the First Name Basis podcast, Season 3, Episode 18, for those of us who need a little bit of hope. |
| 0:14.4 | Teaching our children to be inclusive and anti-racist starts with us within the sacred walls of our home. |
| 0:22.5 | First-name basis is designed to empower you with the confidence you need to be a leader in your family and a changemaker in your community. |
| 0:30.6 | Together, we will wrestle with hard questions and use the answers to create the world we want, |
| 0:36.3 | a world that reflects our values of inclusion, |
| 0:39.8 | compassion, and courage. I'm your host, Jasmine Bradshaw, and I am so excited to be on this |
| 0:47.0 | journey with you. Hello, First Name Basis fam. I am so glad you are here. So this is just a quick little bonus episode |
| 0:58.8 | that I wanted to share with you because last week I was on Instagram live just randomly on a Tuesday night |
| 1:06.0 | and I shared a little bit about the things that are keeping me hopeful right now. |
| 1:11.8 | There were two things specifically, and you'll hear about them in just a minute. |
| 1:15.6 | But I was thinking about it, and I realized that I don't know about you, but I don't watch |

| 1:24.5 | I always have the intention of watching the whole thing, but I always get distracted |
| 1:28.9 | or I can't watch the video or something's happening. So I thought, you know what, this needs a |
| 1:34.0 | permanent space to live on the podcast for those of you who are like me and don't have the |
| 1:39.8 | bandwidth or the capacity to watch an Instagram live. So it's pretty quick. It's only about seven minutes |
| 1:45.3 | long, but I wanted the audio to live here forever. And I'm working on an episode for this week. |
| 1:51.7 | It is all about voter suppression, about what's going on and about what we can do about it. |
| 1:56.6 | So I'm hoping that this little nugget of hope will get you through the next couple of days |
| 2:01.7 | until I can get that episode out to you. I'm so excited for you to hear it because we have big |
