Curious what Critical Resistance (CR) has been up to this year?

Come through to our 2024 Community Report Back: a warm, interactive space where we can connect with each other, take a breath, and gear up for the fight to come.

CR’s Community Report Backs are an annual gathering space for all CR donors to connect with CR members and hear more in depth about the work CR has been doing to abolish the prison industrial complex (PIC) and what CR is prioritizing moving forward. In the midst of another new and tough political terrain ahead, this year’s Community Report Back is open to all of CR’s friends, comrades, and supporters, not only donors.

Join us online on Monday, November 25, as we take stock of the PIC in this new terrain, reflect on the abolitionist advances that your support has enabled this past year, and share CR’s plans to grow and strengthen our work in 2025 and beyond, as we gear up to continue the fight against fascism for collective liberation.

While our chapters in California, Oregon, and New York are all gearing up for another year of campaigning and advancing our fights against imprisonment and policing, each of our chapters are hosting our annual prisoner solidarity end-of-year postcard mailings throughout the first two weeks of December, while CR’s The Abolitionist Editorial Collective heads to the printing house to publish Issue 42 on anti-war organizing December 9. Check out a sneak peek article by Lara Witt and Maya Schenwar from Media Against Apartheid and Displacement on how journalism can either be an instrumental tool in advancing or resisting war and genocide as seen by apartheid Israel’s siege on Gaza. Subscribe to the newspaper to receive your very own copy (and to sponsor free subscriptions for prisoners), and learn more about the project’s ambitious plans at our Community Report Back.

*Request for attendance: The history of resistance is long, so to ground us in our lineages of resistance and remind us of radical possibility, we invite you to come with a poster or wearing a shirt/hoodie with your favorite piece of liberatory art!*

We look forward to sharing more on CR’s 2024 campaign, project, and movement building updates with you and uplifting not just how PIC abolitionist organizing has shifted the terrain recently, but the radical possibilities it opens up for all our connected freedom struggles.
