It takes more power to build than to burn and Shannon Perez Darby and Tashmica Torok want to build.

In the season finale of The Popaganda Podcast, you are invited to jump into a time machine and look into their radical visions for a future where transformative justice practices and abolition frameworks are realized. Listen in as they reflect on how their lived experiences in childhood and within their family systems have helped them see the sci-fi possibilities that have helped sustain their hopefulness in a future that they will likely never see.

What can we build if we feel connected to and are willing to sacrifice for that bolder, more just future?
