Dear Comrades,
I’m thrilled to be joining Critical Resistance’s (CR) staff as the National Membership Coordinator after over 5 years of volunteer membership with the organization.

My organizing with CR for 4 years based in Oakland, CA and almost two as a national member based in Atlanta, GA has provided me with the opportunity to build with our powerful membership base across the US. I look forward to working with CR’s members, our external coalition partners, and our advisors and elders to create and sustain strong programs, practices, and political education that fortifies our ability to fight to abolish the prison industrial complex (PIC) through strategic campaigns and projects.
During my career thus far, I’ve worked to establish pathways to meaningful work for formerly incarcerated people, developed anti-racist political education for employers, and coached and developed marginalized job seekers and colleagues. Through these experiences I’ve developed skills that I look forward to bringing to CR’s membership development programs including project organizing, political education programing, facilitation and mediation, capacity building, and project management.
In this political moment in our movement for PIC abolition, it’s critical for us to be in our best fighting form, for us to find ways to balance sustainability, building power, and rest, and for us to continue driving the ideology and practice of abolition as the common sense road to liberation for all people. The strength of our movement lies in the strength of our people, and I'm honored and humbled to do my part to develop, sustain, and support the work of Critical Resistance’s organizers.
Onward,
Rehana Lerandeau
