Repression breeds resistance: Abolitionist organizing in the South
From the founding of the United States until the present, the South has perpetuated a legacy of state-driven racial and economic oppression, whether through slavery, convict leasing, Jim Crow laws, or imprisonment. However as with abolition of slavery and the movement for civil rights, people in the South and in particular Black communities, have also been on the frontlines of resistance, continuing their own legacies of struggle. Through building resilient and participatory communities like in Jackson, Mississippi, or fighting state repression, such as Free Alabama Movement's and other southern leadership in recent prisoner strikes, organizing in the South continues to makes strides towards liberation that inspire allied movements nationally.
At Critical Resistance (CR), we are taking steps to support national work outside our chapter cities, including Southern movements for liberation. CR has historically engaged in organizing in New Orleans, Atlanta, Durham, and supported other Southern movement building. This year, we are building on our history and connecting with Atlanta area partners who are working to get cops out of schools, decrease arrested and jailed populations, and build community based models for safety. We're thrilled to announce "Atlanta for Abolition: Dismantle the Prison Industrial Complex" as part of Profiles in Abolition, a series of events intended to reinvigorate critical understandings of the prison industrial complex and inspire us to take practical steps toward a future free of policing, imprisonment, or surveillance.
Join us in Atlanta (http://criticalresistance.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b64cbc94231b3bae71ab83686&id=aec00b43cb&e=f269152a76), spread the word to contacts in the area, and donate (http://criticalresistance.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b64cbc94231b3bae71ab83686&id=1648061bbc&e=f269152a76) to help support southern partnerships for abolition (designate "Atlanta").
