Community Report Back
Curious what Critical Resistance (CR) has been up to this year?
Come through to our 2024 Community Report Back ([link removed]) : a warm, interactive space where we can connect with each other, take a breath,
and gear up for the fight to come.
Join us online on Monday, November 25, as we take stock of the prison industrial complex (PIC) in this new terrain, reflect on the abolitionist advances that your support has enabled this past year, share out CR’s plans to grow and strengthen our work in 2025 and beyond, and gear up to continue the fight against fascism ([link removed]) for collective liberation. Check out more about CR's annual community report back and share our event posting on our website with your friends here ([link removed]) .
Beige tile with purple, black and white text. CR Community Report Back event info in the text throughout. Two images of CR organizing in 2024 to close prisons in California and pass Dignity not Detention legislation stand side-by-side in the center of the flyer.

For December, CR members prepare to host a series of postcard mailing events ([link removed]) for our annual prisoner solidarity mailing and head to print Issue 42 of The Abolitionist Newspaper on anti-war organizing December 9. We look forward to sharing more on CR’s 2024 campaign, project, and movement building updates with you at Monday's Report Back and uplifting not just how PIC abolitionist organizing has shifted the terrain recently, but the radical possibilities it opens up for all our connected freedom struggles.
