Dear Friends of Critical Resistance (CR),
We put out the call for you to support CR’s campaign and project organizing — and you’ve shown us the value of our organizing through words, images, actions, and by helping us raise over $40,000 of our $45,000 goal thus far! Your resources and support are essential to keeping prison industrial complex (PIC) abolition in action through CR's campaigns, projects, political education, and movement partnerships. THANK YOU!
Will you help us get to our $45,000 goal by December 31, 2022?

In the final days of 2022, you can support CR reach our year-end goal by:
* Donating generously - whether it’s $20, $200, $2,000, or $20,000 - no amount is too small or too large! Please support us by giving online ([link removed]) or sending a check.
* Becoming a monthly sustainer online ([link removed]) or by check (some workplaces have giving programs!) to keep CR strong month to month.
* Subscribing or donating to The Abolitionist ([link removed]) , our bilingual newspaper that we send to imprisoned people for free twice per year.
* Spreading the word to family and friends by sharing our website, posting on social media, and encouraging people to support CR (Share any of our fundraising flyers below!).
This month our year-end goal is to raise $45,000 from over 5,000 people for CR. That's just under $10/person! Having raised $40,000 so far, your generous support is crucial.
Can you make a gift this month?
