On this deeply moving episode of the Know Your Rights Camp podcast, writer, organizer, and movement lawyer Derecka Purnell reimagines what love, justice, and liberation truly mean. She challenges the idea of justice as a courtroom verdict, framing it instead as the cultivation of equitable, caring relationships. Abolition, she explains, isn’t just about ending violence—it's about building a world rooted in safety and dignity. With powerful insight, Purnell calls on young people to find their "political home"—a space for radical education, organizing, and dreaming together. This episode is a passionate call to collective freedom.
