My guest is Nikkita Oliver (she/her). She is an attorney, writer, educator, abolitionist and for many of us “The People’s Mayor”. In 2017 she was the first political candidate from Seattles Peoples Party, and ran for the mayor of Seattle, coming in a very close 3rd out of 21 others. As of late she can be found on the front lines of the powerful Seattle activist movement, fighting toward the decriminalization, defunding and abolition of the racist, sexist and classist institutions who are systemically killing our BIPOC & QTIPOC community. We discuss the current demands around the local BLM and civil rights movements, if she will run for Mayor again and how she is practicing self care during it all.
