The political education group this month based their conversation around Abolition Feminism for week 7 of the "Abolish Everything" curriculum. The focus of the discussion was on the need for feminism movements to reject the current criminal justice system, which doesn't protect women from harm and leads to many women being criminalized or harmed by parts of the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC). There was also some great discussion around the role of community in creating accountability and possible alternative responses to violence that don't involve the PIC. We'll continue the discussion next month with the topic of Queer and Trans Abolition, which will include topics like the past and present criminalization of queer and trans people and the role of the gender binary in the PIC. To join us, sign up here!
