Curious what Critical Resistance (CR) has been up to this year?
Come through to our 2024 Community Report Back: a warm, interactive space where we can connect with each other,
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 yoursupport 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 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.
*Request for attendance: The history of resistance is long, so to ground us in our lineages of resistance and remind us of radical possibility, we invite you to come with a poster or wearing a shirt/hoodie with your favorite piece of liberatory art!*
For December, CR members prepare to host a series of postcard mailing events for our annual prisoner solidarity mailing, and CR prints 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.
Join the New York Dignity Not Detention campaign on November 21 from 6-9pm ET at Angelika Theater (18 W Houston St New York, NY 10012) or virtually on Zoom for a screening of "Borderland: The Line Within", a film highlighting the stories of resistance of migrants fighting for liberation and the truth behind the business of immigration. We’ll also have a panel discussion with the filmmakers and coalition organizers.RSVP here!
