October is National Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month, and in Part 2 of our interview with domestic violence survivor Tracy McCarter, a nurse and grandmother who was jailed after her husband died of a stab wound when she defended herself during an altercation, she describes the grassroots campaign that won her freedom. She is now a registered nurse who recently completed her master’s at Columbia and just received the Truthout Center for Grassroots Journalism’s Keeley Schenwar Memorial Essay Prize for her essay, “As a Black Woman Accused of Killing a White Man, I Was Never Innocent Until Proven Guilty.” We are also joined by Jocelyn Simonson, a law professor at Brooklyn Law School who was part of the “I Stand With Tracy” campaign and features Tracy in her new book, Radical Acts of Justice: How Ordinary People Are Dismantling Incarceration.
