The political education group continued their study of the "Abolish Everything" curriculum with a discussion on Criminalizing Blackness. This delved into the ways that white supremacist instutions, such as the prison-industrial complex (PIC), are race-making institutions rather than byproducts of existing racialized differences—built with the purpose of exploiting labor, punishing challenges to the racial order, and blaming negative social outcomes of inequality and oppression on the manufactured 'criminal' class. Next month, the group will be exploring the topic of Abolition Feminism, which will focus on the need for feminism movements to reject the PIC in their fight against the patriarchy. Sign up here!
