Honoring the life and legacy of Linda Thurston

Dear Community,

We write today to mourn the loss and celebrate the legacy of our Community Advisor Linda Thurston, who organized on the steering committee of the Critical Resistance (CR) East Northeast Regional Conference (2001) ([link removed]) . Her tireless commitment to anti-prison organizing, anti-imperialism and building movement infrastructure provided foundation to many organizations across decades of her work. Her warmth, her generosity with bestowing upon us her personal archive of movement history, and her ability to bring people together will all be truly missed.

For the last two weeks, CR has been reflecting on Linda's countless movement contributions and (re)committing to following the lead of her consistent integrity and generosity. We invite you to read our written reflection on our website ([link removed]) . If you have not already done so, please consider honoring Linda by contributing to her homegoing ([link removed]) and to the War Resisters League. ([link removed])

In love and solidarity,

Critical Resistance

Read this interview ([link removed]) Linda did in 2009 with War Resisters League, where she talks about some of her work and movement contributions, including uplifting the need for the PIC abolitionist movement to be reflected by communities most impacted by the prison industrial complex.
