Summary

As we prepare for what's coming in the new year, we’re releasing a Best of 2025 series—by no means objective, and making plenty of tough decisions to leave a few favorites out. Each of these will also be posted in the public feed. We’ll be back next Monday, January 12th, with new episodes in the patron feed. This episode was originally released September 15th 2025 for Death Panel patrons and is being unlocked today for the first time. To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod Original description: Beatrice speaks with Andrea Ritchie about why it’s now more important than ever for healthcare workers to resist ICE and refuse to participate in all forms of criminalization of the people they care for. We talk through the Beyond Do No Harm Network’s 13 principles for care workers to interrupt criminalization and the many other resources the network has put together so far. Find all of the Beyond Do No Harm resources mentioned in this episode here: https://www.interruptingcriminalization.com/beyond-do-no-harm Show links: We're testing out a new Bookshop.org page (still under construction), where you can find books by past guests and book recommendations from the hosts.
