How To Use
This is an offering for abolitionist vision and transformation. Although there are many policies here, this is not a policy document or website, nor are we an organization or policymakers. We hope this serves as a resource for people to build from and incorporate abolitionist demands into local organizing efforts around municipal, state, and federal policies. Originally, this resource was formed as a direct response to a harmful reformist campaign.
We know abolition is far more transformative than 8 points or a website, and hope that these points serve as a resource that demonstrates practical changes we can make now towards abolition. If you or a campaign you’re a part of uses this to shape city based-campaigns, let us know by contacting us!
