Dear Critical Resistance supporters, friends and comrades,

We are in an unprecedented moment – the call has never been louder to dismantle policing, defend Black and indigenous lives, and build a world in which the prison industrial complex is obsolete. In solidarity with cities in uprising and communities across the country, we are making abolitionist common sense loud and irresistible together. The key to health and safety is not aggression, policing, and imprisonment, but healing, stability, and liberation.

In 2020, CR’s movement organizing has:
* eliminated three policing units in Portland, OR;
* advanced a campaign to permanently shut down a notorious jail in San Francisco, CA;
* brought together over 100,000 people for educational webinars in the past three months;
* and created a national network of abolitionist organizations to strengthen this fight.

Can you keep us ready in this urgent moment and make a gift to support CR this month ([link removed]) ?

Mural by @LaDimeUna for on 4400 Telegraph Ave, North Oakland, California.
This is long haul work with important surges. Through it all, CR is committed to building an international movement to abolish the prison industrial complex by challenging the belief that caging and controlling people makes us safe— and inviting us to build the word we need. Every gift helps us advance abolition. Thank you!

Cheers,
Jess Heaney, Shirley Leslie, and the CR National Fundraising Committee

P.S. We have new Building People Power shirts, ([link removed]) hoodies, crewneck sweaters and totes! This special design is a collaboration between Critical Resistance and Dom Villeda of Treat U Nice signs, originally made for the building at 4400 Telegraph in Oakland, now wearable for you!
