SUMMARY:Abolition Means No More War: FREE PALESTINE NOW!
DESCRIPTION:Prison industrial complex (PIC) abolitionists have always understood the work to dismantle the PIC to be connected to global movements against war\, militarism\, and colonialism. In the past few weeks\, we’ve seen mass mobilization for solidarity with the Palestinian people as they face one of the deadliest assaults by the Israeli military in its history.\n  \nOn Wednesday\, November 1\, 2023\, join us for a critical discussion on the ongoing war on Palestine. Critical Resistance’s Campaigns Director\, Mohamed Shehk\, will be joined by Dr. Angela Y Davis\, Lara Kiswani (Executive Director of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center)\, Stefanie Fox (Executive Director of Jewish Voice for Peace)\, and Nadine Naber (INCITE! Women of Color against Violence – National) to help us understand the situation on the ground in Palestine\, how our organizations and 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. \n  \nRSVP for the online event here.  \n  \nAiming to contribute to fighting against war-making more broadly\, this event will examine the relationship of the PIC with Israel’s apartheid and occupation of Palestine\, and why abolitionists must strongly mobilize in this time\, by bringing together experts on PIC abolition\, solidarity\, liberation movements\, war and militarism to: \n\nUnpack the relationship of racist and imperialist structures that support the ongoing Israeli occupation in Palestine\nExpose the Israeli imprisonment system including Gaza’s forced configuration into an open air prison\nDisrupt Israel’s role in worldwide repression of marginalized peoples and revolutionary struggle\nAnd interrupt the media’s role in criminalization\, inciting more violence\, and maintaining systems of oppression by empowering colonial ideology through Islamaphobia\, Anti-Arab racism\, and anti-semitism\n\n…And all the while discussing concrete strategies for how we can fight back. \n\nIn the last few weeks alone\, the apartheid-state of Israel has killed over 8\,000 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded over 18\,000 while the conditions in the 16-year-long blockade continue to worsen for over 2 million Palestinians as the healthcare system in Gaza has completely collapsed. In only two weeks\, Israel has doubled the number of imprisoned Palestinians\, as the war has claimed 10\,000 prisoners of war (POWs) by the Israeli Prison Services (IPS). Meanwhile\, the US government has been giving $3.8 billion in military aid per year to Israel unconditionally\, which has funded over 6\,000 Israeli bombs dropped on Palestinians in only six days\, almost as many bombs as the US dropped on Afghanistan in one year of war. \nAs abolitionists\, we know our praxis requires that we both sharpen our analysis while contributing materially to those struggling in Gaza.\n  \nMiddle East Children’s Alliance (MECA) is on the ground distributing humanitarian aid and relief to those in need in Gaza. This event will also be a fundraiser for MECA. Donate before\, during or after the event here.  \n\nHaymarket Books will be hosting the event \nand live-streaming on Youtube.\n*Closed Captioning\, ASL\, and Spanish Interpretation will be provided. \n\nRSVP on Haymarket’s eventbrite to receive the link to join on November 1! \n  \n_______________________ \nList of Endorsing Movement Partners:\n\nAddameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association\nAlliance of South Asians Taking Action (ASATA)\nAnti Police-Terror Project (APTP)\nArab Resource & Organizing Center \nAsian Prisoner Support Committee\nBrooklyn Eviction Defense Tenant Union (Palestine Solidarity Caucus)\nCalifornians United for a Responsible Budget (CURB)\nCalifornia Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP)\nCatalyst Project \nCenter for Political Education\nChicago Torture Justice Memorials\nCreative Interventions\nDemocratic Socialists of America (DSA)\nDetroit Justice Center\nDon’t Shoot Portland\nElla Baker Center for Human Rights \nFaith for Justice\nFayetteville Pact\nFeminist Peace Initiative\nFreedom Archives\nHaiti Action Committee\nHEART\nHuman Impact Partners\nIndigenous Justice\nInternational Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN)\nInterrupting Criminalization \nIranians for Abolition\nJewish Voice for Peace\nLiberation Library\nLove & Protect\nMamas Activating Movements for Abolition & Solidarity (MAMAS)\nMovement for Family Power\nMuslim Education Trust\nNational Lawyers Guild\nNational Lawyers Guild – Chicago\nNational Lawyers Guild – SF Bay Area \nPalestine Legal \nPalestinian Youth Movement\nPoder in Action\nPrison Activist Resource Center \nPrison + Neighborhood Arts/Education Project\nProject South\nRelease Aging People in Prison (RAPP)\nRestore Oakland \nShowing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) – National\nSoutherners on New Ground (SONG)\nSurvived and Punished\nSurvived and Punished CA\nTeachers 4 Social Justice\nUS Campaign for Palestinian Rights\nVOCAL – Texas\nWar Resisters League\nW.E.B.

Please help spread the word near and far and invite everyone you know. Click and download the flyers below\, post to social media\, or print out and share at in-person actions. \n \n\nImage Description to post in Alternate text and/or captions:\n\nDark gray-blue flyer. A collage of animations depicting internationalist and abolitionist organizing and resistance\, including a Palestinian solidarity rally in San Francisco with thousands of people\, many of whom are waving Palestinian flags (black\, white\, green\, and red)\, to mobilizations to stop Urban shield or block the apartheid-Israeli “Zim” ship at the Oakland Ports\, as well as anti-Zionist  and anti-imperialist Jewish activists mobilizing to Washington DC most recently with a banner that reads: “Jews Say Ceasefire Now.” Underneath the collage is the event title and description in white\, blue\, gold and light red text (alternating colors for emphasis on organization names). The text reads: “Abolition Means No More War: FREE PALESTINE NOW! With Angela Davis\, Arab Resource & Organizing Center (AROC)\, Jewish Voice for Peace\, INCITE!\, and Critical Resistance. Raising humanitarian funds for Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA). Hosted by Haymarket Books. Closed Captioning and ASL Interpretation provided. Wednesday\, November 1. 4-530pm PT / 7-830pm ET.

SUMMARY:Building Worker Power to Close Prisons: Labor & Prison Closure Info Session & Workshop in San Francisco!
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 18th from 1-3pm at 518 Valencia in San Francisco where we’ll go over the overlapping histories of prison industrial complex (PIC) abolition and labor resistance\, why and how these struggles are deeply linked\, and imagine what future investments for workers and for community can look like. \n  \nIn our current moment\, it is imperative that we come together as workers\, as abolitionists\, as anti-imperialists to resist oppression and fight for liberation. Our struggles are all linked – when we fight for improved working conditions and prison closure at home\, we can strengthen global movements against war\, militarism\, and colonialism.  \nRSVP to join us to build worker and people power to close prisons across the state!\n  \nIn the US\, unions are reminding us that they are vehicles for building worker power. The historic United Auto Workers strike and the Screen Actors Guild strike are showing no signs of slowing down\, and the United Educators of San Francisco just won a tentative agreement with $9k salary increases\, additional stipends\, and future raises. Unions and ALL workers are powerful levers of change\, and all their support is needed to close prisons across California. On November 18th at 518 Valencia\, CR will be hosting a workshop with University Professional and Technical Employees (UPTE) about the shared struggle of organized labor and prison closure!  \nRSVP today.\n  \nCritical Resistance as a part of Californians United for a Responsible Budget have been working to close 10 prisons across the state by 2025. So far 3 prisons have been named for closure with an additional private prison’s lease terminated. Unfortunately the 2023-24 budget did not include any prison closures and included a $380 million dollar package to “rehabilitate” San Quentin State Prison. This package was originally blocked by the Legislature and we firmly oppose this move. We know that prisons can never be safe and can never be rehabilitated. The only safe prison is a closed one! \n  \nWe ask that everyone where’s a face mask indoors to still protect our communities against COVID-19.\n  \nContact us at croakland@criticalresistance.org with any questions!\n

SUMMARY:Phone Zap to #CloseCAPrisons: Call Governor Newsom's Office TODAY!
DESCRIPTION:Through our collective work since 2021\, we’ve gotten two California state prisons closed\, one slated for closure soon\, and one private prison lease terminated. Let’s keep up the pressure and get closer to our goal of 10 prisons announced for closure by 2025 (that’s 7 more)!\n \nJoin us in calling on Governor Newsom to name at least 5 more state prisons for closure between now and the January 2024-25 proposed California state budget!\n  \nACTION LINK HERE: bit.ly/PCTOOLKIT \nAs California faces a staggering $68 billion budget shortfall\, the closure of more prisons not only makes fiscal sense but also aligns with a transformative approach to criminal justice and will allow our taxpayer dollars to go towards the community-based investments we truly need to be safe.  \nTogether\, we can get more closures on the books and help create the future we want to live in. \n  \nLearn more about the CA Prison Closure campaign here.

SUMMARY:Critical Resistance Power Hour: Drop the Charges against the #BayBridge78 NOW!

SUMMARY:Close CA Prisons Rally & Press Conference: Mobilization to Norco!
DESCRIPTION:Join Critical Resistance & Californians United for a Responsible Budget (CURB) in Norco\, CA on July 20 outside the CA Rehabilitation Center (CRC) prison for a rally to urge Governor Newsom to close at least 5 more prisons and SAVE BILLIONS for community care\, starting with CRC.\nRegister now: tinyurl.com/norcoreg  \n \nCRC Norco has a long history of inhumane conditions: violence from guards\, lack of programs\, infestations\, dilapidation\, and extreme heat. Last week’s record-breaking temperatures highlight the urgent need to close prisons like CRC Norco. \nThe new state budget includes historic department of corrections (CDCR) cuts\, but more prison closures are needed to ensure savings support our communities.

Or eager to take action now? \n\nYou can take action today right from where ever you are in CA! Join over 1\,000 supporters by signing the petition: bit.ly/closeCRC \n\nJuly 20 Norco Rally Highlights:\n\nGuest Speakers: Loved Ones of Incarcerated Folks\nReadings from those inside CRC Norco\nNew prison closure materials\nPress Conference\nVisuals\, community swag and more!\n\n  \nRegister now! tinyurl.com/norcoreg  \n  \n
