We are in a historic moment brought on by the consistent exertion of people power across the country and around the world. This has brought us to a place where our communities are poised to win significant victories against the violence of policing on a large scale. To guide us in this moment, we need to hold central that Abolition is both a vision and a political strategy. Part of this strategy is recognizing and actualizing that we cannot call for reforms that further entrench and legitimize policing in any form as a solution to social, economic or political problems. As prison industrial complex abolitionists, the reforms we call for in our demands must be aimed at diminishing the political power of policing.

How can we assess which proposals to support or to oppose in our organizing? What are some abolitionist proposals? Join Dean Spade from Sylvia Rivera Law Project ([link removed]) , Woods Ervin & Kamau Walton from Critical Resistance ([link removed]) , K Agbebiyi from Survived and Punished NY ([link removed]) , and Mariame Kaba from Project NIA ([link removed]) and Survived & Punished ([link removed]) to discuss these questions and more. Join us for this conversation to deepen our shared analysis and to discuss how we use abolition as a politic, practice and framework to move us toward liberation and self-determination. See the Facebook event page for speaker bios. ([link removed])
