For Those Considering Law School by Dean Spade

manifestacionesextranas:

“We also have to face that the rules mostly don’t benefit targeted people and never have, and when good rules get created they are not followed or enforced, so to actually change the conditions of maldistribution we need mass mobilization and direct action to force deep transformation. Helping people get by as much as possible under awful conditions is part of that kind of transformative process, but it is not enough on its own, especially for those (like people targeted and caged by criminal and immigration systems) who are on the violent losing end of all those rules and for whom legal relief is usually not available.”
