Fearless Abolitionist Anees on Community, Abolition, and Healing
On this episode of The Junk and Jam Experience, Christopher Albert sits down with the brilliant and bold Anees — activist, community organizer, abolitionist, and lifelong learner — to talk about building safer, more just futures through collective care, protest, and healing.
Anees opens up about their journey from academia to street-level activism, shares insights on prison abolition, protest safety, and reflects on identity, family, and cultural belonging. From Pro-Palestinian demonstrations, to abolition and over-policing, the Land back Movement, and spiritual herbalism — this convo is as empowering as it is expansive.
Featuring:
- Community safety & abolitionist organizing
- Personal stories of resilience, healing, and joy
- Equitable education and resources in a changing political landscape
- Protest, poetry, Taekwondo, and tender truth bombs
Plus: A hilarious game of "Who's THEY IS, HUH?" — because modesty looks better on men anyway
