December 18

By: Abolition Advent Movement Mondays with Coke Tani

They shall build up the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations (excerpt from Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11).

 

Reflect with Coke Tani as we explore the intersections of Abolition, Racial Justice, and Disability Justice

Every Monday during Advent, Join the Movement’s Abolition Advent Artist Coke Tani will offer a way of engaging our intersectional focus and Advent scriptures with embodied spiritual practices. Each Movement Monday video includes suggestions for modifying the movements to make them accessible for your body. The transcript for the video is available below.
