In episode #506 of Talking Radical Radio, Scott Neigh interviews Hailey Yasmeen Dash and Mae Mason of the Asilu Collective, which Dash described as "a grassroots abolitionist collective fighting and organizing for police-free schools, but also policing-free schools, and to eliminate policing culture, infrastructure, and practices in schools across Ottawa." They talk about the group's origins, its successful campaign to end the School Resource Officer program in Ottawa schools, and its shift to a broader focus on the problem of not just police but *policing* in schools.
