Vigil for Scholasticide in Gaza | A Young Person's Perspective on the Social Media Ban | Updates on Woolies Strike

Monday Breakfast

Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for Monday the 9th of December. On today's show: Excerpt from 3CR's 12 hour broadcast on Tuesday the 3rd of December, aka International Disability Day. This year's theme was embodied solidarities, inviting reflection on how disabled people can practice better solidarity with one another across diffewrent abilities and backgrounds, locally and across borders, in a time where mass-disabling violence is increasing. The theme also calls for reflection on how non-disabled people can improve solidarity with disabled people. As part of that broadcast, Pauline Vetuna spoke with El Gibbs about the anticapitalist roots of the social model of disability, disability doulas, the expertise of disabled people regarding care, patriarchal devaluing of the gendered care economy, and strategies for collective organising past, present and future. El Gibbs is a disabled person living on Wiradjuri Country, and is the deputy CEO of Disability Advocacy Network Australia. You can listen to more of 3CR's dedicated Disability Day 2024 content at https://www.3cr.org.au/disabilityday2024. We then hear An excerpt from last week's Done By Law show in which Jimi and Britt chat with Rosie Heselev from About Time Media, who publish a newspaper written almost entirely by incarcerated people called About Time. Rosie is the Managing Director of About Time, as well as a former lawyer at Fitzroy Legal Service and the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service. Their conversation covers how the project started and includes letters and articles from recent issues.
