Brittany K. Barnett’s Vision of Sustainable Liberation for Justice-Impacted People
In this ~12 minute TED Talk attorney, author and entrepreneur Brittany K. Barnett discusses how we lose sight of the humanity of those we unjustly sentence and that part of systemic change must include the investment in and the nurturing of that humanity, a part of her vision of sustainable liberation.
I’ve been holding this vision lately of sustainable liberation. How do we create that? Sustainable liberation requires economic freedom, equity and ensuring that justice-impacted people have access to resources and capital to flourish and create positive ripple effects in their communities. That is true systemic change.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound.
