The Feminist City and a Guide to the Criminal Justice System

For our Housing Justice Book Group on October 26, we're discussing FEMINIST CITY by Leslie Kern 

"Taking on fear, motherhood, friendship, activism, and the joys and perils of being alone, Kern maps the city from new vantage points, laying out an intersectional feminist approach to urban histories and proposes that the city is perhaps also our best hope for shaping a new urban future. It is time to dismantle what we take for granted about cities and to ask how we can build more just, sustainable, and women-friendly cities together."

We're excited to share a guide to the criminal justice system and the imperative for transforming it.

We believe that in order to reimagine how we ensure public safety and challenging policing and carceral power, we need to understand their histories and structures. It's not the first or last word on this topic by any means, but we hope it's a useful overview and introduction that opens up the door to many more questions and topics.
