"Anything I love, I can slander" says Lauren in this episode. We love Encanto for so many reasons, but we also have some serious criticisms. We discuss the good, the bad AND the ugly in this episode - How did Disney represent Colombian culture? What is Disney-fication? Is Disney more present in our lives than we may realize?

As always, leave us your comments on our socials or by contacting us via our website: www.onjusticegroup.com

This episode is a really interesting conversation about capital punishment. It's also the day a professional photographer came to take pictures of the group, so the episode is littered with shutter clicks. We apologize!

We want to know if and when you think about capital punishment and its implications. Does it come up in your classes? Have you heard about it recently in the news? How does your culture deal with capital punishment as compared to other cultures?

Visit our website to find out how to contact us and share your thoughts: https://www.onjusticegroup.com/
We're very proud of the website, so please visit!

Our theme for season 2 of the podcast is "discomfort". For many, nothing is more uncomfortable than speaking about abortion, so we decided to start there. 

And then, of course, there was Texas and SB8.

And now there is Izabela, the Polish woman who died of sepsis after doctors and midwives refused to remove her dying foetus...#notonemore

These recent events prove that the abortion conversation is as important as ever. So will you discuss the past and the present with us in order to define a more equitable future?
