A nationwide prison strike is beginning on September 9. Movement for No Society is offering this workshop to consider prison strikes in context of the struggle for liberation today.

Presenters will give report backs on the events and organizing that led up to the strike, followed by a discussion on the following questions:

▲ What are some ways to get involved and contribute to this struggle?
▲ What is the history of similar prison actions?
▲ How have prison uprisings in the past decade contributed to making prisons a focal point of the struggle against white supremacy and capitalism?
▲How can we be thinking about anti-prison organizing beyond the prison abolitionist framework that’s currently getting mainstreamed?

We invite people to share their experiences with agitating/ organizing against prisons as well as their ideas for moving forward.

[September 11 from 7pm to 10pm at A-Space 4722 Baltimore Ave]
