About this listen

In episode 2 of “60 Seconds Remaining”, Julian Wilson talks to community organizer and death worker Ash Williams (he/him) from Fayetteville, North Carolina. He describes his work as an abortion doula, fundraiser, and abolitionist focused on redistributing resources to Black trans people. He discusses mutual aid as essential for trans people inside and outside incarceration, emphasizing ongoing support for food, bills, housing, and survival. Ash outlines challenges including slower donor support, stigma around abortion and incarceration, state communication barriers and costs, and hostile prison conditions denying gender-affirming care. He urges sustainable engagement through honest capacity, boundaries, and varied roles, and encourages relationships with incarcerated people.
