2019 was an inspiring year: we made 225 presentations, garnered 87 media hits, launched the Abolitionist Training School, won two huge campaign victories, and brought on six new staffers! Thank you for keeping CR grassroots-powered ([link removed]) !

Dear friends,
Critical Resistance (CR) has been rigorously putting our abolitionist politics into practice in our campaigns, projects, political education and movement-building efforts. This year has been filled with serious challenges, as well as powerful victories that we celebrate and amplify as beacons of possibility.

We are deeply appreciative of all that you have given us in building an abolitionist future—through your solidarity, joint action, generous donations, and boosting CR and the movement! None of this is possible without your support; together we are building people power! We invite you to celebrate our victories in the struggle and support CR this season—into the future.

We are majority grassroots-funded – so our work is only possible because of your support! Will you help us reach our $50,000 year end goal and make a gift to CR this month ([link removed]) ? Thank you for celebrating our wins and building for an abolitionist future with us.

Onward, toward liberation,

2019 Highlights: Celebrating our abolitionist wins,
Building an abolitionist future!
CR Los Angeles turned 15 this year and won a historic campaign!
CR Los Angeles (CRLA), the JusticeLA coalition, and Los Angeles (LA) communities defeated the huge $3 billion proposed construction plan for TWO jails in LA this year! In February, we stopped construction of a new women’s jail in LA County and, in August, successfully halted the second proposal for a new mental health jail facility. The task in front of us now is to ensure that LA County follows through on resourcing decentralized, community-based care—and that those resources truly reflect the communities who are directly impacted by the prison industrial complex.
