Join our host Deana Lewis as she interviews Esteban Kelly and Jenna Peters-Golden who were core collective members of Philly Stands Up that worked to restore trust and justice within the Philadelphia punk community starting in the early 2000’s. Philly Stands Up developed essential frameworks and practices for supporting accountability and change for people who cause harm while also supporting survivors in their rage and healing via Philly’s Pissed. They talk about how their close knit queer and trans community impacted the larger activist world and supported the long term work to end sexual violence throughout the city and beyond.
