Snuffing Out Revolution: Control Units and Resistance

A #BeyondPrisons and #CriticalResistance collaboration

https://www.beyond-prisons.com/home/snuffing-out-revolution-control-units-amp-resistance

Wednesday, Nov 1. A critical discussion on the ongoing war on Palestine, hosted by @haymarketbooks.

Understand the situation on the ground in Palestine, learn how people everywhere can mount effective resistance to the genocidal war against Palestinians, and how we can use abolitionist strategies such as Dismantle-Change-Build, Divest/Invest & “Defund,” and “shrink and starve” to do so.

Critical Resistance reflects on the current landscape of policing in 2023 and recommends what is to be done –

"After the largest protests in US history, we see the death and destruction of policing on the rise with police having killed roughly three people daily since 2020. At Critical Resistance (CR), we ask how can that be after an estimated 16-24 million stood together to resist policing after the death of George Floyd, proclaiming bold demands such as “defund the police” and “abolition now”? A summer of global unrest with abolitionist aspirations was disrupted by the US presidential election with false promises from the Democrat party to deliver any sort of alternative from the right-wing. The result? A bi-partisan expansion of policing and soaring body count."

Curious to know which books and/or organizations shaped your #SocialJustice and #RacialEquity lens

Looking at this book list from https://antiraciststarterpack.com/

The first book I read on #RaceConscious perspectives was #RaceMatters from #CornelWest

I typically recommend #HowToBeAnAntiRacist by #IbramXKendi to folks who are new to learning about #antiracism and #WeDoThisTilWeFreeUs by #MariameKaba for folks who are learning about #CommunityOrganizing with an #abolitionist lens

The orgs I recommend following to learn the basics around social justice issues are #MovementForBlackLives #M4BL #NDNCollective #ShowingUpForRacialJustice #SURJ #CriticalResistance and so many others
